Themis, I tried analyzing the behavior noted from the code you provided and
found similar results. The semicolon does change appearance from black to
magenta upon adding the comment. The addition of whitespace directly after
the comment, by simply pressing the spacebar, also returns the appearance of
the semicolon in question to black (in addition to your previously stated
method of removing and retyping the final semicolon). I have observed this
while running Mathematica 7.0.1 within a Windows environment.
However, looking at the same case using Mathematica 5.2 within Windows
yields different results. The addition of the comment does not result in
the semicolon's color changing. This may indicate the emergence of a bug
somewhere between versions 5.2 and 7.

J. Batista
