This is probably caused by a bug in the syntax highlighting/spell 
checking code that has recently been fixed. Could you try again with the 
latest version of TeXworks from 
https://bintray.com/texworks/Windows-latest/TeXworks-for-Windows%3Alatest#files 
and see if the problem is gone?

HTH,
Stefan
