Field placement in the packet is an important
consideration when using field color attributes. If a line
field is defined before the overlay (text or constant text)
field, the line field is blocked out by the overlay field,
depending on the overlay field’s color attribute. If a line
field is defined after the overlay field, the line field is not
blocked out by the overlay field, regardless of the overlay
field’s color attribute.
