I don't see it as strange.

When you insert "int test", without the semi-colon, your buffer now
has an invalid C++ program, so it's a small wonder the colors change.
When you replace "int test" with "in test", the "in" part is no longer
a C++ type, so it's again small wonder that colors change.

I don't think it's a bug.

Thanks.
