Reproduce the reported TypeScript template-list case in VS Code Web Editor with extensions disabled, using the stated VS Code 1.86.2 and Ubuntu setup. Inspect the TypeScript TextMate grammar files in this repository and compare highlighting for declarations using =; done when the template argument receives the expected color.

    It seems the error will happen if the length of template list is longer than 1 and let var const with operator= is on the left.
    I'm sorry with my poor English.
