I have exactly the same issue with my PageBreak tag (which is *supposed* to be Cyan in colour).
The formatting (900 pt below) holds true but the colour disappears. If anyone has an answer, I'd love to know.

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.
