(parser) continueScanAtSamePosition can break highlighting if no other matches are found

[pkaminski]

Describe the issue
When accessing a reflected class object using .class, a string following it doesn't get highlighted as such.

Which language seems to have the issue?
java

Are you using highlight or highlightAuto?
highlight

Sample Code to Reproduce
For example, ImmutablePair.of(stuff, "bar") works fine, but ImmutablePair.of(Stuff.class, "bar") doesn't highlight "bar" as a string. There's a live repro using highlightjs 10.1.2 here: https://jsfiddle.net/chmxa1ze/

Expected behavior
The string should be highlighted as such.

This may be related to #2428 and/or its fix.

What do you think about #2650?

[pkaminski]

Not sure if "you" meant me above, but if so I'm the wrong person to ask. :) I only have surface knowledge of language definitions, and no idea at all about the engine itself.

@joshgoebel I don't think this is quite fixed yet. The specific repro I posted above is now working, but this one is broken: https://jsfiddle.net/zxbtunvy/1/ Could you please have one more go at it? Thanks!
