Sorry, I don't understand. I saw a <space> following the {y} in your original
bug report:
x \color{blue}{y} z
and presumed that you were typing
x \color<space>blue<right arrow>y<space>z
Ie, the <space> before 'z' escapes us from the color macro.
I now see that you mean something else entirely. Why is 'the old style' so
bad?
