Description:
Query coloring is incorrect if string constant contains line break. 
It is assumed that lines start outside of quotes.

How to repeat:
Try entering:
select 'ab
cd', 1+2;
See incorrect coloring at the second line.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/ and the instructions on
how to report a bug at http://bugs.mysql.com/how-to-report.php

Additional info:

It is a common behavior that tokens in a text are are separated by either space, tab or line break. Although a string constant may contain spaces and tabs line breaks are not allow in any case. And since syntax highlighting works line by line it is also not easy to change.
