Description wissenstein 2014-02-20 11:10:45 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201402140001)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_21
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.21-b01


In menu "View", check option "Show non-printable Characters".
In editor windows, characters '·' and '¶' appear. Their color is black.

In dialog window "Tools / Options / Fonts & Colors / Syntax", in list "Category", choose "Whitespace" and set Foreground to [204, 204, 0] for it.
Non-printable characters '·' change their color accordingly.
Non-printable characters '¶' remain black.

Try to change the color of character '¶'.
Actual result: there is no mean to change its color.
Expected result: characters '¶' change their color to that chosen for characters '·', or else list "Category" has item "Pilcrow" allowing to choose color for character '¶'.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.
