  I've tried fixing this reply 5 times and I can not make this post to use proper syntax coloring

  How did you try?  E.g. using the HTML button?  It looks as if you could use the HTML button on a reply to your last post and then modify the colors in it as a test for the necessary syntax.   Copy that.   Cancel that reply and then try to apply your changes to an Edit of the original?

  Yes... seems like a workaround when finding a bug...

  If this answer proposes manually fixing all colors, then it's too much work. I found another workaround for bad cases. In this case I go to http://www.sqlusa.com/sqlformat/, paste the query, format it, then copy back that formatted version (the colors are preserved).
