Description code83 2014-11-28 22:53:56 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.0.1 (Build 201408251540)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_25
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.25-b02

If the built-in 'Function' object is referenced anywhere within a JS file, some syntax highlighting in the file is corrupted.

Specifically, the first 8 characters (including opening curly brace) of any immediately-invoked function that returns a value that is assigned to a variable, are coloured magenta. This happens in code both before and after the point in the script at which 'Function' is accessed.

Additionally, if the cursor is on the line in which 'Function' is accessed, a warning tip appears: 'The global variable "Function" is not declared'. If the cursor is on the word 'Function' itself, the word is highlighted in beige and all instances of the wrongly coloured magenta text are highlighted beige too.

This happens both within a JS file in a project, and also within a standalone JS file that is not part of a project and with no project opened in the IDE.

Please note, the 8 chars include the newline if there is one.

Also, perhaps only key words get coloured magenta - e.g. if the function begins "{ var num = 1;" 'num' is not coloured, even though it is partly within the 8 chars.

Thank you for reporting, reproducible in 8.0.2 however this seems to be fixed in Dev builds where the coloring works fine.
