| In older verisons of mushclient i could color several lines using just this
^Covered in wood pulp\, (.*?) scuttles in\, its long proboscis(.*?) air\.$
to cover both lines, now i cant even get this
^Covered in wood pulp\, (.*?) scuttles in\, its long proboscis(.*?)
to cover a full line and change the color why is that? |

| Well, you have changed the regexp.
The important thing you have omitted is the trailing $. Without it, it only matches up to "long proboscis".
You have followed that by "(.*?)" which is a "non-greedy" wildcard. The least greedy thing it can do is match nothing.
To make it match the whole line, either use:
^Covered in wood pulp\, (.*?) scuttles in\, its long proboscis(.*?)$
or
^Covered in wood pulp\, (.*?) scuttles in\, its long proboscis(.*)
