You mean it does not match them stand-alone (cause it shouldn’t,  
i.e. not the rule above), or it doesn’t match them when part of  
‘window.this’ or ‘window.parent’?

I just pasted the above rule into the current JavaScript grammar (as  
the first rule) and if I press ⌃⇧P on ‘this’ or ‘parent’,  
when used after ‘window.’ it does show that they get correctly  
matched. So yes, it works for me.

Be sure to close the bundle editor after making a change to a  
grammar, to ensure it updates the various buffers.
