Perhaps a bug in the grammer for the shared syntax highlighting code at [GitHub - JuliaEditorSupport/atom-language-julia: A Julia language support package for the Atom editor](https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/atom-language-julia) ?

as the problem es present in both atom and vscode, maybe this is a problem in LanguageServer.jl, leave a issue in github, i guess?

Yes, but as far as I can tell, the link above to atom-language-julia is where the associated syntax highlighting definition lives (in [https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/atom-language-julia/blob/master/grammars/julia.cson](https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/atom-language-julia/blob/master/grammars/julia.cson))

there is a related issue:  
[https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/atom-language-julia/issues/175](https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/atom-language-julia/issues/175)  
the weird problem is that the syntax highlighting was functioning in julia 1.1, but broke on 1.1.1. Is not a critical problem anyway, but it is a problem nonetheless
