VSCode: `editor.tokenColorCustomizations` > `comment` does not color the whole comment

Environment

Visual Studio Code 1.18.0 for macOS.
Theme hedinne.popping-and-locking-vscode by hedinne.

Question

Why is it that the color of the initial /* of the block comment is not changed when I override editor.tokenColorCustomizations > comment?

Example

First line of block comment not changed

How do you highlight a comment in Vscode?

Windows: Ctrl + K + U. Mac: Command + K + U.

How do I use better comment extensions?

How to use it. Using the extension is very straightforward. Some special characters are just needed to be prepended after the comment symbol (ex: // for javascript) and before the actual comment itself.

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
    "textMateRules": [
        {
            "scope": "punctuation.definition.comment",
            "settings": {
                "foreground": "#33f"
            }
        }
    ]
}
