Hi Joseph,

thanks for the effort!

Indeed, I found out that the syntax highlighting parser was responsible for this "phantom" text caused by an uncaught output of the underlying lex parser. Today I've already sent Simon my patch thus in the next release this "phantom" will disappear.

Cheers,
Hans
