That is backwards. The issue appears to be variables WITH braces inside of double-quote strings. The unbraced variable on line 2 is the same as the
script:compile,global:PKG_BULD_DIR, andglobal:PKG_INST_DIRvariables.On Line 2,
globalis correctly marked as the variable storage scope. On line 3 it is marked as just a standard read/write variable.[-]Variables without curly braces are not highlighted correctly[/-][+]Variables with curly braces are not highlighted correctly[/+]
