@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: ![Screenshot 2023-09-06 at 8.07.21 AM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fmsoup/original/2X/3/3ea6f6a30f1b81564e220f5a247dfb3d37e49fcb.png) After: ![Screenshot 2023-09-06 at 8.07.25 AM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fmsoup/original/2X/2/2d94181f6cc87bf5ad4e4c65a35302bb58258b8e.png) 1. When you try to save a calculation, but there is an error (such as pictured). Upon dismissing dialog, all colouring disappears from the calculation Before: ![Screenshot 2023-09-06 at 8.44.49 AM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fmsoup/original/2X/0/06ab0a86e990672923e997d3f7dfe35b1858df11.png) After: ![Screenshot 2023-09-06 at 8.44.52 AM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fmsoup/original/2X/7/783e17cd6e1d1bbd47e7152fe0cce122550d2589.png) Thanks 👍 ---
