I was write a code in python, I ran into this highlight bug:
Could write that part of the code this way:
'\\1****', then highlight works as expected.Is there a way to fix this?
os: macos,

From my understanding, when you use an r-string, the content is evaluated as a regular expression pattern, not a substitution pattern. Multiple * is invalid. Using the r-string as a substitution pattern is something many people do as well. Should the highligher be relaxed for such things 
. You can use a capital R-string (R'\1****'), which will treat the expression normally, allowing you to still not need to escape your backslash.
