> E.g., think about adding a new line to a program, the new line you're adding is typically invalid for the majority of time until you've finished typing it out.

That doesn't really bother me. The line of code you're currently typing is generally so invalid that there's not much point trying to color it.

But what does bother me is the code below where you're typing changing its color as the IDE tries to make your partial line fit.



The point is trying to make sure that the parser doesn't choke on the entire file just because one line is incorrect.
