   Yes..  same result here.  That darn editor window is a holdout.   
      
   Meanwhile, I found another little issue, but it is hard to describe.   
      
   When I was experimenting with the colours for each window, the colour     
   control pop-up looked strange, and some of the content was "crowded".   
      
   When I changed the then existing font to another style, the "problem"     
   seemed to go away.   
      
   The screenshots will illustrate.  Screenshots are going out to you.
