Research direction

Reproduce the supplied JavaScript example in a supported editor and compare the condition ternary operator's syntax colors with the screenshot. The issue does not name a grammar file or test; done means the function-call form and variable form receive the intended coloring without breaking grammar interpretation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When getting the condition from a function call it does break he grammar interpretation. It is being fixed either by using a variable instead of b() or by removing the "a" at the beginning

function b() { }
class A {
    static f = () =>
        "a"
        + (!b() ? `_${1}` : "")
        + `'${2}'`
}
