Description
For strings, when the light blue highlight shows the matching items from a paired syntax element -- for a string -- it finds the wrong match.
Steps to Reproduce:
Write an Ini file routine like the following:

Something := ReadString('Local','MySetting','');

if you put your cursor next to the single quote next to the "M" in MySetting, it will highlight the single quote at the end of Local instead of the one at the end of MySetting. I checked to make sure I wasn't missing any single quotes. It should never match the two that it does.

Slightly different testcase, but otherwise clearly related to QC reports 11849, 21955, 23568, 25738
To keep overhead down I mark it as duplicate of 23568 (most similar).
