Expected behavior

(Without the extension.)

# should not be considered as the start of a comment when it is inside a regex (same as for string).

Actual behavior

Thanks for the report

This unfortunately is probably not going to be easily resolved. The current grammar is based on the one from Atom which made some changes from the original TextMate grammar to account for some bugs. It appears neither grammar got it quite right.

See atom/language-ruby#82 and textmate/ruby.tmbundle#133
