Bug with mixing ' (apostrophe) and SQL "--" line comments

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Insert

{{{
-- Don't
SELECT * from users WHERE id = 3;
-- Don't
}}}

into wiki page and observe how the first apostrophe starts a string and
ends only at the second "Don't".  

This should not happen as the apostrophe is inside a SQL line comment "--".

The HTML generated for the above code is as follows:

{{{
<pre class="prettyprint"><span class="pun">--</span><span class="pln">
</span><span class="typ">Don</span><span class="str">'t<br>SELECT * from
users WHERE id = 3;<br>-- Don'</span><span class="pln">t</span></pre>
}}}

What version are you using?  On what browser?

I'm using the version that's live on code.google.com as of Dec 28, 2007. 
I'm using Firefox but it seems that this is browser compatibility issue.
