Bug#500896: vim: python syntax higlighting fails on some text portions

[Nicolas Évrard]

Package: vim
Version: 2:7.2.010-1
Severity: minor

Hello,

Sometimes when there is some huge pieces of docstrings in python files 
vim fails to correctly highlight some place of the text : the 
docstring is hightlighted as the code and vice-versa.

For an example of this behavior opens core.py from the python-genshi 
package. It appears that it happens when you jump on a line and that 
the first line displayed in the terminal is part of a long docstring.
