JavaScript comment continuation on enter false positive with "//" in string literals

[starball5]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.97.2
• OS Version: Ubuntu 24.10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a JS document
2. Type "//".at
3. Put the cursor before the .
4. Press enter
5. Observe that it started a comment
6. Do the same thing with a comma instead of a dot

This is actually disruptive. Ex. fetch requests, which have URL as the first argument. Trying to retroactively split the rest to a new line by pressing enter now puts the right side in a commented line.
