you're at least more right than me!

the problem is currently indeed bount to the return.

to reproduce:
- put some text in a text frame
- set the color for the whole frame to green
- set the last word to red

now:
- if you type some text at the end of the frame it will be red.
- but as soon as you type return in the middle of a green word, you the 
text on the new line will be green but the one at the end of the old 
line will be red
- if you put a return at the end of the last word (a green one!), if you 
write some text at then of the old one it will be green, but on the new 
line it will be red
- if you set the first word as green and add a return in front of it, 
the text on the new line will also be red
- with shift click you don't get the problem.

do those steps match what you're experience?

ciao
