Description blewisjr86 2010-03-07 09:15:51 UTC 
It appears as if in the editor it is mistaking a comment as the variable that proceeds the comment.

Example:

# A simple comment
some_var = "A simple variable"
a_number = 2
another_var = some_var + a_number.to_s

In the preceding example the comment is being recognized as the variable some_var.

If you click the comment it hints that it is some_var by highlighting the variable some_var in the line another_var = some_var + a_number.to_s

Also if you remove the last two lines from the example the editor hints that the comment is unused instead of hinting that the variable some_var is unused.

Thanks for the report. I was able to reproduce this with 1.9, is that what you are using too? Seems that the problem is in the 1.9 parser.
Comment 2 blewisjr86 2010-03-08 11:56:03 UTC 
Yes it only happens with the 1.9 interpreter just tested again now with 1.8.7.  I also noticed this affects anything that comes right after a comment not just variables but functions as well.  So it definitely seems like a parser issue.
