VS2005 SQL Syntax highlighting is incorrect for nested comments?

I'm working with VS2005, and SSMS 2005.

SQL Server allows nested comments as follows:

/* Comment 1
/* Comment 2 */
Some commented out code here
*/

This code runs fine. However if putting the above into a .sql file in V开发者_运维知识库S2005, it incorrectly shows the commented out code as 'active', (its not green). It seems that StackOverflow has highlighted the code in the same way.

Is this a bug in VS2005? Or does SSMS handle nested comments differently compared to the ANSI SQL standards?

Can someone clarify this discrepancy, and if it appears to be a bug, if there a way to fix the syntax highlighting?

I tried this in SSMS 2008 and VS2010 and it is all green so I would guess it is a bug in VS2005?
