I'll second the request for an example.

Benjamin, if you have line wrapping turned on (it's in the View menu),
turn it off when reading source code.  If there were a lot of spaces or
a long comment after the closing '}', Pan may have wrapped that extra text
and added a new '}' because Pan thought '}' at the front of the line was
the poster's way of saying `this line is quoted'.

If the colorization of '}' bothers you, you can take it out of the
these-are-quotation-characters list via Edit|Preferences.
