Pound sign/hashtag in text throwing off highlighting

[scottslowe]

Hi all, long-time user of Markdown Extended with Sublime Text here; thanks so much! It's been a life-saver.

I noticed something odd today on my macOS systems running ST3 build 3126. A pound sign/hashtag in the middle of a line is completely throwing off the syntax highlighting for Markdown documents. The odd thing is that this doesn't happen on my Linux box running ST3 build 3126. I tried updating to the latest version of Markdown Extended, but the behavior persists. This is not something I've ever seen before. I'm using Markdown Extended with the Monokai Extended color scheme. Any suggestions?

Same syntax highlighting problem here with 3126 in El Capitan.

I can confirm that this bug also appears in ST3 build 3176 (3.1.1) on Linux.
