If Plus! itself draws the text, then yes, it is a Plus! bug, but as far as I know it doesn't do that...
...that is: it does intercept the raw string to draw, but it is not Plus! which does the actual drawing. Plus! intercepts it, adds its own flavors to the text - or rather, changes the tags as we know them to proper formatting codes understood by the drawing process of the control (in
RichText* format that is "
\cf1blahblah" for color 1 for example) - and then returns this new raw string to the drawing process. So, the controls are already
RichText* since WLM uses it to add some fancy text formating itself; it is just that, as a normal user, you aren't enabled to control it.
Much like you can color your text on the forums; and it is the php script which intercepts this raw string with tags and converts it to something the browser understand.
*maybe not exactly a RichText control, but you know what I mean with "RichText" I hope.
...at least, that is how I have always understood it.
To bad Patchou isn't around anymore to shed some light on it
