Javascript highlighting fails when less than symbol ("<") is first char

[mattrabe]

• VSCode Version: 1.35.0
• OS Version: macOS 10.14.5

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set Language to "Javascript"

2. Create a line of code that performs a less-than comparison where the right-side starts with a letter, such as const fooBar = foo < bar. This will work fine. But now insert a line break before the less-than symbol. Syntax highlighting will interpret this second line incorrectly, and will color it and numerous lines after it in all-red.

Real-world use-case is a much longer line of code which has been broken onto multiple lines for readability/linting, but this example easily reproduces the behavior.

Here is a real-world example of failing highlighting:

And here is the same line of code, but with the line break removed (no longer showing broken highlighting):

const x = true
    || new Date()
