When editing DOS batch files (*.bat), every comment line (i.e., any line beginning with "::") is mistakenly considered to be a label by jEdit (as reflected in the coloring and font setting of the entire line), regardless of how many spaces are in between the two colons and the first word in the comment line. Actually, even if there were absolutely no spaces between the two colons and the first word (e.g., "::This block of code..."), then it should still be considered a valid comment, and not a label. It should only be considered a DOS batch label if there is only one colon and the label name is immediately adjacent to that colon, with no spaces in between (e.g., ":Label1").
