Hi! I am using the deckstop Postman App on my Mac. Why is my script in the Tests tab (Pre-req tab) is not colorized (highlighted) and displayed as a plain text? In the web app it’s ok. How to make the code colorized like in any IDE or at least in the Web App?

> For some reason after an update this morning, all of my Postman tests are displaying without the formatting and beautification as expected. It makes it much harder to read and parse the tests. For a split second when I first start Postman, and when I first load a request I can see a flash of the correct coloring but then it goes away. Is there a setting I’m missing, or something new I need to do to get this back? What it Looks like What I Expect [2023-09-05\_11-06-38] …
