When I was initially experimenting with callsign highlighting, I
painted all instances of the call that appeared after the last
separator. I searched for "----" backwards from the end of the text,
then searched forward for the callsign, starting at that point. This
proved to be unnecessary in the Highlight Last mode, but when this
mode is off, you may want to use this method to ensure that
highlighting does not propagate beyond the point of the band change.
Of course, this will work only if separators are enabled.
Hi Alex,
thanks again fro the feedback.
For the above I think that it is best left for the future when we have a
much richer internal model of decodes, things like the dial frequency
when they were decoded will eventually be stored alongside the decoded
text, date, time etc. This will make this sort of logic far more
practical. I suspect for the vast majority of users there is little care
for decodes that have scrolled off the top unless they are for the last
one or two T/R periods.
I have added a bit more functionality to the message_aggregator
reference application to exercise the highlight last instance only flag
and to allow the selection of foreground and background colours in the
"Calls of interest" list. This is only so I can test the message
functionality fully, there are no WSJT-X implementation changes. Here's
a new patch for any who might be interested:

I consider this patch a low risk and I am happy to merge it to the
development branch even though we are already at RC3, which means it
will make it into the v1.9.0 GA release. Unless you have any other
suggestions on this functionality I will commit the changes tomorrow.
