Attributes are part of the language; thus, in my opinion, deserve highlighting.

For example, if syntax highlighting covered attributes, users could see right away that the attribute "Constant" for properties, when written in lowercase, i.e. "constant", is not recognized.

For attributes, perhaps a specific color could be used.

If this is an opinion question, do you want to raise the issue on the Octave Discourse site in the Maintainer's section?  Specifically, the question seems to be "Should Octave colorize attributes, or only keywords?".

Personally, I don't have an opinion and in any case use Vim for editing rather than the built-in editor.

Before opening a ticket upstream I have done some testing. "Static" is the only attribute that is highlighted. All other attributes - not only "Access" - are not highlighted (for methods or properties). In Matlab, attributes aren't highlighted either. So it looks like the bug is that "Static" is highlighted.

Personally, I think that highlighting a method or property attribute in the same way as a keyword does not feel correct.

Syntax highlighting is done by Qscintilla.  This probably needs to be reported upstream.  See, for example, bug #59885.

The classdef methods attribute "Access" is not colorized, unlike the attribute "Static", which is shown in blue.
