@MonkeybreadSoftware

I have a couple of long-standing issues with the calc colouring I was hoping you might get a chance to look at.

There are 2 situations I can find consistently where it breaks.

1. Adding a return (return key) into the calculation, makes all the colouring change to a single colour. The only way to fix is to type another character (I usually hit space then backspace).

Before:

After:

2. When you try to save a calculation, but there is an error (such as pictured). Upon dismissing dialog, all colouring disappears from the calculation
