I haven't been using it for *quire* that long, but I agree with you that it is perfectly legal!

I have had odd syntax colouring in COBOL files at beginning of lines on occasion, but it always turns out to be the presence of a 'tab' character instead of leading spaces that makes text that *looks* like it is in column 12 actually start to the left of that, in area A, or even in the line number field.

Not saying that is your problem here, but it's worth a look.
