Hi

I have stumbled across very weird behavior. After some rules, no more rules get created with the dialog![dialog](https://sourceforge.net/p/jedit/plugin-bugs/1920/attachment/2022-09-20%2009_53_25-%28%20Session_%20none%20%29%20%20-%20tmp.log%20%28modified%29%2C%20.aliases.png) but the last one changed. I am not entirely sure, I do not manipulate wrongly, however, I would not know where. It does seem straight forward enough.

Is there a way to set the rules up without the GUI, some config file? I have seen highlights.ser, but trying to fiddle with it (on computer 2 only!), it did not seem to change anything apart from being quite cryptic.

I have this behaviour on two of my computers.

##### Computer 1 (Windows, ![jEdit 5.5](https://sourceforge.net/p/jedit/plugin-bugs/1920/attachment/2022-09-20%2009_58_07-About%20jEdit.png), Highlight 2.2 (latest one in the Plugin Manager))

Five rules possible (for now)
