Description:
Seems to be few instances when QB thinks a non comment line is a comment line, and shown with comment backcolor.  Here is 1 perfect scenario for you to fix.

How to repeat:
1. Type in following..

-- comment
select 1;

2. Move cursor to first line

RESULT : The second line comes up with backcolor of light gray when it is 'active' SQL text, and also results in error when executed!

This is not a bug. There is no different back color used for comments. What you see is the effect of marking the current command in the Query Area. You can also see that by adding several lines like:

select 1;
select 2;
select 3;
select 4;

Move the caret around and you will see that always the lines which belong to an executable command get the window background when the caret is on any of the participating lines. Everything else has a gray background.
