Thank you, Laurent. I am not programmer so my technical understanding is limited to comparison with (what appears to be) like-type software. The one that comes to mind is Crimson Editor, an open source text editor. It also color codes tags and I have never experienced the same phenomena as I described below. Related, I neglected to clarify that my post below was relative to opening the source code pane, though that may have been obvious from the description.
