[SOLVED] Newsbeuter: Can't have two 'highlight feedlist' entries

Package: community/newsbeuter 2.9-6

I've always used two 'highlight feedlist' entries on config two distinguish between a feed item a group item on the feedlist. The screenshot below shows that I can no longer do this with the latest version.

#config file

# [...]
color info blue color232
color listnormal color247 default
color listfocus color253 default
color listnormal_unread color137 default
color listfocus_unread color221 default

highlight feedlist ".+ N .+" color137 default
highlight feedlist ".+ --> .+" color242 default
# [...]

Despite the fact that both regex end up overlapping, newsbeuter was smart to apply the second one on top of the first, giving me an orange colour for unread items, and a dark grey for the totals items regardless of its reading status. This no longer happens.

I have already filled a bug report at newsbeuter github. But meanwhile, anyone experiencing the same problem came up with a solution for a tri-color feedlist?

I probably made this post longer than it should only because I lack the time to make it shorter.

This has been confirmed as a bug and there's currently no workaround.
