Syntax highlighting for HL7 messages appears to treat a # as a start-of-comment character #4328

I have an incoming SIU message in a channel. When viewing the source message in "Raw" form, syntax highlighting makes the message much easier to read than without it. It contains the following text colors on a white background:

Segment names: purple Separators: black Numeric fields: red

In one particular message, a field contains a # character and that # character through the end of the line is all yellow-on-white which is (a) not east to read and (b) probably not as intended. The # character has no inherent meaning in HL7, and shouldn't be used as a syntax highlighting cue.
