Annoying FM quirk

[Spectrum Writing]

All,

 

I have a paragraph tag named PageBreak that is designed to do what the name
implies - put in a PageBreak at specific location that I select. The tag has
a 750.00 pt Below Pfg characteristic and I have also applied a bright
Fuschia color so that I can differentiate the pilcrow for the tag from that
of a simple Body tag. When I apply the tag, the pilcrow is displayed in the
Fuschia color, but after that, boom, it's a crapshoot. Sometimes the pilcrow
holds the color and other times, it doesn't and I have to go back manually
reapply the tag. It's very annoying as when proof-reading/editing my
documents, I need to confirm that the tag is indeed a PageBreak tag and not
a Body tag. (If I were just printing the manuals, then it wouldn't be an
issue, but I am single-sourcing these docs. and using ePublisher to produce
online help, so the issue becomes critical for this.)

 

Has anyone experienced this or something similar at all? Why on earth won't
the pilcrow hold the color? 

 

FWIW, I am using FM9 (all patched and current) on a Win7 64-bit system.

 

TIA,

 

TVB
