It looks to me like @title is intentionally highlighted. What are you
trying to do? Why don't you expect it to be highlighted?

It is intentionally highlighted, but it's "contained", and I only expect it to be highlighted in a javaScriptDocComment (see its "contains" clause).

Reading the documentation of Vim, having an item with "contained" means that it can't be highlighted in the TopLevel. Yet for instance, @title is highlighted even when not in the javaScriptDocComment.

Is it frowned upon to bump in this ml ?
