Sublime text recognizes “%{” as start of multi-line comment and shows codes below as commented out. But in MATLAB IDE this will not recognized as comment marker. Only “%” and “%%” are legit comment marker.
In above code, I’m not expecting “b = ‘text2’;” to be commented out.
I would recommending trying build 3126 since I believe it has some updates for the Matlab syntax.
If you still see your issue with 3126, open an issue at https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/issues.

in matlab are block comments, your IDE is not prepared to catch them and apply the block comment syntax correctly as Sublime Text is.
I just remembered, there is a bug the matlab/octave block comments do not allow anything beyond spaces after the %{ opening sign line’s. So, the Sublime Text syntax need to be fixed.
I opened a pull request to fix this: https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/pull/650
