Repost: numbers are not always shown correctly in editor

[Claus Pedersen]

This is a repost from the PL/SQL developer forum, but since issue has been partly solved in beta 9, I continue the post here.

The original post can be found here.

The example code is:

DECLARE
  i NUMBER;
BEGIN
  FOR x IN 3..6 LOOP
    i := 1E2 * .5 * 0.4;
  END LOOP;
END;

Partly solved in beta 9:
the numbers in line 5 (the assignment of i) are correct, even e.g. 1e-2 is shown correctly as one number.
But 3..6 is shown incorrectly with the dots marked in blue. They should be white as they are not a part of a number. Also -3..6 is not shown correctly, as -3 is a number and is not marked as such.

The following examples should all be shown with the same color coding, even if there are spaces or not:

FOR x IN -10...3 LOOP
FOR x IN - 10...3 LOOP
FOR x IN - 10 ...3 LOOP
FOR x IN - 10 .. .3 LOOP

-10 and .3 are numbers and must always be shown in all blue
.. are syntax elements and must always be shown in all white

We'll see what we can do to enhance this.
