When I look the second quote from the trace log (*****2****)
a little bit closer I found HText_endAppend() function (HTML.c calls it).
This function also made the highlight text used by forms and "active link".

I think we should split out this function and made a separate calls
for forms filling at the anchore building stage, the same point
where we color the text accociated with HREF= links.
