Qt Creator bug with braces matching

I have been using Qt Creator version 11.0.1 since about 6 months ago (and earlier versions of this since about 10-15 years ago).
I noticed that syntax highlighting, especially brace matching, has some issues. For awhile, everything works as expected, but then at some point the highlighter cannot find an earlier matching brace, although it is obviously there and the surrounding code is correct.
I have to close Qt Creator and reopen it, at which point everything is fine once again. I never encountered such issues with earlier versions of Qt Creator, I must say.
Is this a known issue? I cannot come up with a simple test case to reproduce the issue, since it most often happens in fairly complex situations (especially when writing template code).
If someone could point me to an existing bug report, that would be very helpful.
Thanks!

Sadly I most certainly have always experienced syntax highlighting going wrong. And having to exit and re-enter and then it sorts itself out. Over a number of Qt Creator versions, and I haven't gone anywhere near 11.x. So whether it's any worse or better I don't know :)
