Multiline Division Syntax Highlighting

[markpalantoni]

Description

When the forward slash is used as dividing operator and the expression spans multiple lines, the rest of the statement becomes highlighted as a regular expression. Adding another forward slash stops the incorrect highlighting. Seems like there is a problem with interpreting multiline division statements as regular expressions.

Steps to Reproduce

open new file with Ruby syntax highlighting and type:

a = 2 /
    2

Expected behavior:
It syntax highlights as arithmetic like when using multiplication symbol spanning multiple lines.

Actual behavior: [What actually happens]

Reproduces how often:
