Hmm. Try it on a Linux build. I'm using Linux.
As per Robert's request, here is an attached file that demonstrates it.
I typed "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" and repeated it 5
times total. I changed the color from default to blueish on all of the
second instance to "the quick brown fox" in the third. I then changed
the font of the entire third instance to Dingbats. The third instance
is invisible.
