If you have a dash or space it stacks the two symbol names. The stacking spills up 
the the branch above... minor problem... It would be better IMHO to allow longer 
names before word wrapping takes over... looks like 7.124 takes 9 characters but if 
you put a dash or a space it wraps the text... like I said minor but annoying...

Yes when editing. 
No, I use the standard colors that EMC2 6.06 LiveCD installs.

I'm not in the know per say but I'd bet it will be a while on 2.3... I'd bet 2.2.7 would 
come out first...
