B4A 2.5 - keywords highlight question

I've noticed that on B4A 2.5 the keywords highlight is different, in fact, is kind of weird, what I mean is that now B4A reserved words get highlighted even as members, look at the attached screen shots.

In this case the word Activity shows purple like it was a Global variable.

Here certain members of a ListView show in a different color

And here, the word Activity shows in a different color as indicated above.

Is this intended?, I personally like the way 2.3 do highlights the keywords.

The parsing code in v2.50 was mostly rewritten. It performs much better than the previous implementation. This is relevant for larger projects.

What happens here is that "type" words are recognized as types even when they are actually not really types:
ListView1.ImageView... => ImageView is recognized as a type keyword by the highlighter.

It is a bug and it will be fixed...
