Thanks for the report! I can reproduce this highlighting with ("foo" "bar" "baz") on macOS 10.12.6 with 1.34.0-nightly5. Do you think https://github.com/atom/language-clojure/issues/63 is the same, or different but similar issue?

Also, for future issues please use the issue template, the information in the template is super helpful for us when triaging issues.

63 may be the same issue. Perhaps the two could be merged by combining the examples from each? Here is a fuller example illustrating the behavior:

Notice that "foo" and "how" are blue, "bar" and "baz" are green, and "are you" and "test" are gray. Also, 1 and 2 are orange and 3 is green.

Thanks I'll go ahead and do that :+1:, we can always reopen this if necessary.
