When start writing, the color is normal:
When select a charactor for editing, all became black.
After editing, all above were still black.
To restore the correct color of all characters, I had to Minimize or Maximize the screen.
Is this normal in IDE of LO BASIC?

no, it’s a bug

Yes, it is.
Thank you so much.
Now I am learning LibreOffice Macros BASIC from this book.
Using MS Office Excel VBA is like picking a coconut from my refrigerator but in LO Macros BASIC is like climbing up and down the coconut tree for a coconut.
VBA is a dedicated and easy-to-use tool to interact with MSO. StarBasic is a language binding to UNO, which is rather low-level API for interaction with LO. The difference is that in fact, when you write a macro in Basic, it is really similar to what would one write in Python, Java, or even C++ (except for the language-specific constructs). If you’d want to port your macro to another language, it is ~trivial for StarBasic - but the learning curve is really steep.
