OK to name it 2.13 and to release it.

Given that there have been some issues with using RSyntaxTextArea, I
wonder whether what it provides for the LoggerPanel is worth the
potential disadvantages.

I have just had a look at the display, and I'm not sure it provides
much apart from line numbering..

I can see that RSTA is beneficial for the GUI fields, but these are
generally quite small, whereas the logging panel can grow without
bound.

At the moment the user has no choice as to whether to use it.

Rather than release 2.13 and hope that the issues have been solved, I
think it would be better to at least provide the option to disable
RSTA for the LoggerPanel. This could be done with a property.

At least then there would be a work round if RSTA proves problematic.
