Single quote breaks code syntax coloring

Summary

While viewing code changes in commit section, if there is some text in the code with only one single quote, all the code after that line are shown in red colour, which is not expected. I suppose it only happens when there are no double quotes surrounding the said text.

Steps to reproduce

Commit some code that contains this portion of code: -> Hello world. This is Sammy's project and blah blah blah. Go to the commit section and see the changes, all the text after the apostrophe(') is shown in red.

Example Project

None

What is the current bug behavior?

All the text content after a single quote are coloured in red.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The syntax colour should remain consistent throughout the code
