the text before the cursor is a different colour than after.

not a bug!
a feature!

an unintended one though.

not yet sure how this came about, or in which version it started.
certainly appears in fin1.018.fishsticks.fish at least.

as cool as it is [1], certainly dont really want it, at least, if it'd end up messing up syntax highlighting (#21).

[1: it is cool. much clearer visual cue for at a glance grok of where the cursor is at. ~ would be cooler if were a genuine feature, and if could be toggled [Edit: and if can work without syntax-highlighting clobbering, once that's implemented].]

wondering... if comes from some kind of set_color default &/or the color setting of the cursor itself.

wondering, if was introduced same time as implementing the undo/redo (~ shall check some older versions, each branch ~ to try track down when this first appeared.).
