Type script syntax highlighting error

• VSCode Version: 1.2.1
• OS Version: Windows 7

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a type script file with the following content

 export class sampleClass  {
        public equipmentTypeList: string[] = ["FAX", "OFFICE PHONE"];
        public pbxEquipmentType = "FAX";
        public spliceRightStripName = "TE"; 
        public cablePairStatusValues: any[] =  
            [       
                { statusText: "Assigned" },
                { statusText: "Faulty" }, 
                { statusText: "Not in Use" },
            ];
        public cablePairStatusValueForAssigned = "Assigned";
        public cablePairStatusValueForFaulty = "Faulty";
        public phoneCircuitType = "Phone";
 }

1. The syntax highlighting after line 8 of the code above is not correct.
   Tested for following themes
   Default (Dark)
   Visual studio Dark and
   Visual Studio light
   

Note: if the opening square bracket on line 7 is moved to line 6 then the syntax highlighting is OK.

export class sampleClass  {
        public equipmentTypeList: string[] = ["FAX", "OFFICE PHONE"];
        public pbxEquipmentType = "FAX";
        public spliceRightStripName = "TE"; 
        public cablePairStatusValues: any[] = new Array<any>(  
            [       
                { statusText: "Assigned" },
                { statusText: "Faulty" }, 
                { statusText: "Not in Use" }
            ]);
        public cablePairStatusValueForAssigned = "Assigned";
        public cablePairStatusValueForFaulty = "Faulty";
        public phoneCircuitType = "Phone";
 }

codes above works fine on my vs code:1.3.0-insiders.

maybe the way of directly asignning a [] to a property/field is not a very typescript way 😄

PS: noticed that the highlight is not working even in markdown syntax with your codes, see blow and compare with the codes above

export class sampleClass  {
        public equipmentTypeList: string[] = ["FAX", "OFFICE PHONE"];
        public pbxEquipmentType = "FAX";
        public spliceRightStripName = "TE"; 
        public cablePairStatusValues: any[] =  
            [       
                { statusText: "Assigned" },
                { statusText: "Faulty" }, 
                { statusText: "Not in Use" },
            ];
        public cablePairStatusValueForAssigned = "Assigned";
        public cablePairStatusValueForFaulty = "Faulty";
        public phoneCircuitType = "Phone";
 }

so I don't think it's a bug

I just checked the typescript handbook
https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/basic-types.html
It looks like the way I initialized is allowed and it does compile with tsc.

Edit:

I take your point regarding the markdown syntax. I guess I have to format the code differently :(

Thanks

@oaabhilash
I think the local variable announcing by let is a little different with the proerty/field of a class.
JUST my own opinion. 😆
