I seem to be having some troubles with colours not resetting after I've used a ColourTell.

Example?

I have a script which checks how much damage (or healing) I've taken in a combat round, and displays a "Damage: X" message after the score bar, like so:

Hp: 1839 (2053) Gp: 342 (345) Xp: 361291
Damage: 9

(Only with the Damage message being a fairly light shade of green, and the score bar being a darker shade of green, from the mud.)

The line used to make this is:

world.colourtell hsltorgb(hueindex,0.945,0.5), "", "Damage: " & cstr((world.getVariable("old_hp")-world.getVariable("new_hp"))) & vbCRLF

Now, usually, it all works fine, and the colours go fine, and reset before the next combat message. But sometimes, I get things like this:

As you can see, in two instances, the colours do not reset until one or more lines on.

It doesn't seem to happen with ColourNote, so I've switched it to that, now. It only seems to happen when there's a large amount of output at once. And I've no idea why. :)

I *think* this has been reported before, but in case not I have added it as bug #506.

For now I suggest finishing your notes with a ColourNote, not a ColourTell.

eg.

ColourTell
ColourTell
ColourTell
ColourTell
ColourNote <-- finish line off properly
