Problem Description

What steps reproduce the problem?

1. Inside a comment or docstring, inclue Python punctuation, such as ( or :
2. Note the Spyder highlights and indents as if it were 'live code'
3. Stifle your annoyance and work around it.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? In the case of, say opening a parenthetical expression I expect the ( to be gray like the rest of the comment, not red because it is not yet terminated. If I end a line with a colon, the next line is indented, but in a comment that's annoying.
