Issue with "highlighting" in SQLCL 21.4.1 / Windows 10

Jeff RobertsonFeb 23 2022 — edited Feb 23 2022

Hi,
I'm running SQLCL 21.4.1 and am attempting to get highlighting set up similar to what I saw in one of Jeff's posts, but I'm not having any luck...
I wasn't sure if this was a "me" issue or an issue with SQLCL so I downloaded 21.2.1 and the highlighting works for me in that version.
Here are screenshots of each. Any advice on what I should try to get highlighting working in 21.4.1? I included the version in each screenshot so that is was clear...
21.4.1 - NOTE the comment I've added doesn't reflect the highlighting setting

I'm experiencing this problem in 22.4 as well. However if you use block commenting it mostly works. It just hides your text before you close out the comment on the first line, stops highlighting altogether when you type on the second line, and then highlights everything again once you close out the block comment. Here's a screenshot of the first few scenarios (notice how the cursor shows we've typed hidden text):
