Description maxceem 2011-10-06 08:04:31 UTC 
To reproduce this issue simply create a new js file with the following code (there are no spaces after last backslash):
var html = '\
    <div>\
      <div></div>\
    </div>\
';
actually the next code will show the issue also (there are no spaces after last backslash):
var html = '\
';
but editor highlights this as there are infinity quantity of spaces after the last backslash.
In the same time there are no line errors which will appear if I add one space after the last backslash (unterminated string literal, syntax error).
