Research direction

Start by reproducing the syntax-highlighting problem described in the issue for CSS selectors using the case-insensitive modifier, referring to the attached screenshot for the observed behavior. Then inspect the repository's CSS TextMate grammar and identify the grammar rule responsible for those selectors. Done means the modifier is highlighted correctly without breaking existing selector highlighting.
