Exception to Dice Roll Result Coloring

I found that when you set up a roll to “drop the lowest”, “keep the highest” or “reroll 1’s”, that the roll output still shows the color of those that were effectively discarded from the result of the roll. This leads to confusion for situations like fumbles or critical failures. I believe that this should be changed if it doesn't interfere with any other game mechanics. For example, you roll 2d20kh1, 2d20dl1, or 1d20r1 for an attack. If one of those d20 rolls is a 1 then the output in the chat window will highlight the number red, even though your other d20 roll is not a 1. Everyone will assume that you fumbled and start the process of consulting those charts or whatever game mechanic your GM employs. You have to interrupt them and ask them to mouse-over the result to see that there was no fumble (unless all results were a 1). In my example above, I'm asking Roll20 to roll 2 dice then keep the higher. It can still show the dice in the mouse-over in the chat window, but I don't want the chat window to show a red result when the higher kept roll isn't a 1, unless all rolls are a 1. I'm just looking for some improvements in the color output. No change in the mouse-over is required. Thank you for your consideration, Magik
