Research direction

Start with the code editor’s syntax-highlighting rules and reproduce the example at item_count (l26.P2) shown in the screenshot. Review the ported Godot 3 highlighting behavior and related issues #1434 and #1357; done means regular property accesses are no longer highlighted in blue and the relevant highlighting tests or fixtures pass.

Description

bug user experience

See item_count here (l26.P2) for example. In general, the syntax highlighting in the code edit needs a review because we've ported it over from Godot 3.
