Dan,

I see similar behavior with MSSQL Server and other db's. It probably 
should be mentioned that FROM and WHERE clauses will be parsed to show 
the best guess of what query should be and that text strings may be 
highlighted. It is somewhat useful for debugging a query but it could 
confuse a beginner who has not seen this before.
