[FIXED] Why does NetBeans highlight text between '<' and '>' in C comments

Issue

I'm using NetBeans IDE 8.2 as my C-code editor. Any text inside C-comments between '<' and '>' characters is highlighted (see image below). Does anyone know why?

There is no highlighting in my C-code; it only happens in the comment sections.
