CSS File show color hint instantly
See original GitHub issueSteps to reproduce:
- Open a .css file with Generic Text Editor
- Add some code with a color, e.g.:
.yellow-class { color: \#fdc400 }
Expected:
A small square with the color is shown. (see picture)

What actually happens Nothing is displayed, until I open the “CSS editor”. Then in both files I can see the color.
The problem also exists the other way around. So opening CSS Editor first and then Generic Text Editor.
