Intellisense breaks when using \' inside a string with single quotes

Environment data

VS Code version: 1.20.0
Python Extension version: 2018.1.0
Python Version: 3.6.4
OS and version: Windows 10 Pro

Actual behavior

Expected behavior

Steps to reproduce:

copy and paste this inside a python file:

test = 'this \' will break'

this will also break:

test = "this \" will break"

Intellisense stops working for everything below it unless you are on the very last line of the file.

Of course the easy fix is to just use single or double quotes depending on what you need to escape. Or use triple quotes. 😋
