I've created a scss file with line *:focus and i got two warnings: Unexpected token STAR found Unexpected token COLON found
What is your netbeans version? I tested Product Version: NetBeans IDE 8.2 (Build 201609300101) and it works for me: .test { *:focus { background-color: yellow; } } also *:focus { background-color: yellow; } is ok. can you paste more your code, so I can reproduce your error?
