Syntax highlighter has stopped working

I notice today that your syntax highlighter script has stopped working. It has been working perfectly up until now, and nothing has changed on my end, so it seems likely that this is a result of this recent change.

Technical details, per Reporting bugs:

• When I edit a page on en.wikipedia, the browser stops responding and Windows Task Manager says that my browser is running 100% on one CPU.
• Any page, eg
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bulletin_board&action=edit
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Religion_in_Canada&action=edit&section=1
• Browser user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:6.2) Goanna/20230715 PaleMoon/32.3.1
  (Note that the link on [1] to http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ appears to be no longer valid.)

Sorry for the disruption, I tested with Firefox but I didn't think to test with Pale Moon. I think I've fixed it now. Please let me know if you continue to experience problems. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 07:26, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

That seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks.

(There is a noticeable - but not functionally significant - delay in rendering the colouring when the edit window is opened, which wasn't there before, but otherwise it seems to work correctly.)
