Multiline RegEx clobbers highlighting

[Alhadis]

Observe:

my $line;
while(<>){
    chomp;
    $line =     $_;

    # Delete control characters
    $line =~    s/[
        \x{00}-\x{08}
    ]//gx;

    say $line;
}

Adding or removing the /gx modifiers has no impact on the overzealous highlighting, either.

System specs:

• Platform: Mac OS/X 10.9.5 (Screw Yosemite)
• Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
• Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
• Atom version: 1.0.0

  Update

I've noticed that highlighting won't spill across lines if there's at least one extra delimiter on the first line.

For instance, this is okay:

But not this:
