Incorrect insertion of a comment in a string in VSCode

[mtkennerly]

rust-analyzer version: 0.3.1877-standalone (574e23e 2024-03-09)

rustc version: 1.75.0 (82e1608df 2023-12-21)

relevant settings: N/A

repository link (if public, optional): N/A

code snippet to reproduce:

Regex::new("[^/]")

Place your cursor after the / and insert a *. It will expand to:

Regex::new("[^/* */]")

I don't think it should insert a comment since it's inside of a string.

Some more examples:

• These trigger the issue:
  • Regex::new("/ ")
  • Regex::new("/]")
• These do not:
  • Regex::new("/")
  • Regex::new(" /")
  • Regex::new("[/")

Interesting, this happens for "[/*]", but not "/*".
