Decluttering patterns - font style and color are erased on any change

[Alexey Tikhonov]

Hello!

I use decluttering patterns which should change the appearance of some nodes in Leo outline, but they work only when I just open the outline. Collapsing, setting a mark or simply saving the file discards the font colours and styles.

When I saw a question from poseidon (Upgrading Leo from 6.1 to 6.3) I thought that settings from the theme file might override the styles of the decluttered nodes, but even with "@string theme-name = None" the behaviour is reproduced.

I use the decluttering patterns like these:

# Chapters - Diary, Todo, Nodes - should be displayed in bold.

RULE ^(@chapter)\s*

REPLACE-TAIL

WEIGHT DemiBold

# My Mondays under the Diary node

RULE ^(@Mo)\s*

REPLACE-TAIL

FG #D40000

# My Tuesdays

RULE ^(@Tu)\s*

REPLACE-TAIL

FG #FF6600

What should be hidden in the headlines ("@chapter", "@Mo", "@Tu") remains hidden as expected, but the styles are reset on any change. What could I try to fix it?

Thanks for this report. I have just created #1786 for this. This will likely have to wait awhile, unless someone volunteers to give it a look.
