Title:
  gedit: JavaScript syntax highlighting false positives for regular
  expressions

Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  JavaScript syntax highlighting in gedit picks out regexes (regular
  expressions) when they're not there. To reproduce, open a new file in
  gedit, change the syntax highlighting option to JavaScript, and enter
  the following line:

      var x = 1 / 2, y = 1 / 2;

  Everything between the two slashes is highlighted like a regex. It's
  true that in JavaScript regexes are delimited by two slashes, but
  that's not what's happening here.
