PhpStorm not highlighting PHP code inside a .php file when mixed with HTML

Question

I am having a problem in PHPStorm where it won't highlight PHP code (but will intellisense it) inside a .php file when it's mixed with HTML code.

Screenshot (click to enlarge):

If I invalidate cache/restart, it will, for a few seconds, show the correct highlighting. However, after it "calculates", it will return to not highlighting it.

Is there a setting for this? Or is it just a plain bug?

I have read about language injections, but this does not seem like the place for it since it's a .php file already and PHP is not on the list of injectable languages.

Relevant code:

<?php
$works = "yes";
?>

<html>
<body>

<script>
    var shouldStillWorkAfterThis = true;
</script>

<?php
$works = "yes";
?>

<table>
    <tr>
        <td><?php $works = "yes"; ?></td>
    </tr>
</table>

<!-- lets try split syntax -->
<?php
if ($works) {
    ?>
    <table>
        <tr>
            <td><?= $works ?></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
    <?php $thisShouldToo = true; ?>
<?php } ?>

<!-- lets break it -->
<div id="someclass">
    <header>
        <div class="someotherclass">
            <div class="andanextraclass">
                <!-- include a file-->
                <?php include('somefile.php');?>
                <?php
                    $anythingHereIsNowBroken = true;
                ?>
            </div>
        </div>
    </header>
</div>

</body>
</html>

Language Injections Settings:

I am using PhpStorm 8.0.3 on MacOSX 10.9.5.

Try reducing some of the HTML above the PHP code and see if you can still reproduce the issue. Then, post all the code in the file so that we can try reproducing it. See How to create a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example. — Pang

Based on your screenshot of Settings (Preferences on Mac) | Editor | Language Injections.

Please delete 3rd language injection rule from the bottom (the one for "div" -- that has "IDE" in Scope column).

That rule injects HTML into div tag which tells IDE to treat all other code (even PHP) inside such tag as HTML/plain text.
