<p dir="auto">Steps to Reproduce:</p>
<p dir="auto">In a typescript file, have</p>
<div class="highlight highlight-source-js notranslate position-relative overflow-auto" dir="auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="let varName = &quot;&quot;;
varName = &quot;a&quot;;"><pre class="notranslate"><span class="pl-k">let</span> <span class="pl-s1">varName</span> <span class="pl-c1">=</span> <span class="pl-s">""</span><span class="pl-kos">;</span>
<span class="pl-s1">varName</span> <span class="pl-c1">=</span> <span class="pl-s">"a"</span><span class="pl-kos">;</span></pre></div>
<p dir="auto">The issue is that the 'var' substring in <code class="notranslate">varName</code> is highlighted the way the <code class="notranslate">var</code> construct would ordinarily be.</p>
