Comment 3 Zon 2015-12-23 05:26:06 UTC 
Somehow it depends on comment length and separating the comment from previous object property with whitespace. Deleting any 2-3 lines from comment also helps.
Comment 4 Petr Pisl 2015-12-28 15:51:35 UTC 
I can not somehow resolve what is wrong. When I try the attached source in NB8.1 and NB 8.0.2 I can not notice, what is wrong. Could you please be more specific. What error do you see?

Thanks
Comment 5 Zon 2015-12-30 20:04:05 UTC 
This is not an error, but a bug that reduces functionality. The code is usually sematically evaluated by IDE (blue operators, violet global variables, highlighting selected variable across the code etc.) 

When comments before functions are long and functions are given separated with commas, then code evaluation breaks and you see plain text only. If you try formatting - it fails also and spoils code layout.

The solution is to put an empty line before function comment. Evaluation then recovers. But I still can't make my formatting settings leave such an empty line. So when you ask to format - these lines are removed and code layout is spoilt again.

The screenshot from my 8.1.
Comment 7 Petr Pisl 2016-01-04 13:12:47 UTC 
I probably get it. I attached a screenshot with your source from my NB 8.1. It seems that everything is ok. Did you install a third party plugin?

Screenshot when it works.

Added a line after "singleton: true," and it's recognized now. Semantics are analyzed, colors appear.
Comment 10 Zon 2016-01-07 18:31:30 UTC 
As for plugins - only standard ones are installed.
Comment 11 Petr Pisl 2016-08-18 13:13:06 UTC 
The problem is fixed in dev build.
