Bug#807459: gedit: perl syntax highliting fails on s%a%b%

[=]

Package: gedit
Version: 3.14.0-3
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

perl syntax hightling fails if it hits an expression of the form s%a%b%

(a regex-substitute command with % as the delimiter)

a work-around is to add a comment like #%# after the failing line.
