Reproduction Steps

Use the matrix multiplication operator in a Python expression without placing a space after the operator.

Actual (Problematic) Behavior

a@b gets syntax highlighted as if @b were a decorator. It is not.

Expected Behavior

a@b being syntax highlighted the same as a @ b since whitespace does not change meaning there.
