sublimetext3 - broken js syntax in php file

Question

Sublime Text - Version 3.0, Build 3143

I deal with a lot of php files that contain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The only problem I've found so far is when I'm looking at script tags in a PHP file. The syntax is set to PHP but comments outside of JS functions break the rest of the code below it (it looks like it's trying to detect regex?)

When I move the // test comment into the function then all is well:

I'm curious to know where the problem exists and maybe find a fix.

• Color Scheme doesn't affect the syntax highlighting (it still breaks in other color schemes)
• Adding type="text/javascript" to the script tag doesn't fix anything

My finger points to the PHP syntax highlighting ... but if that's the case, how can this be fixed?

Fresh install of Build 3143(Windows), opened as "PHP" and everything works. It can be caused by some custom settings you made or third party plugin.
