How to use textcolor for rectangle?

Question

Thanks for developing PlantUML.

Maybe I found a bug in PlantUML handling of textclor for rectangles and similar container objects. I tried it with several versions of PlantUML on linux and the online editor. Before I wrote this I took a furtther look to the docu and found examples that behave other than they should.

## In short ##

coloring of text in some objects (e.g. rectangles) seems to be ignored while other styling (e.g. coloring of lines) work as it schould.

## Long version ##

@startuml
rectangle "My first Box" as box1 #text:red;line:red {

rectangle "My second Box" as box1 {

<style>
rectangle {
LineColor red
TextColor red

Hello N, and all,

Perhaps it is due to, on style, textcolor must be replace by fontcolor, as:

@startuml
<style>
rectangle {
  LineColor red
  FontColor red
}
</style>

rectangle "My first Box" as box1 {
Bob -> Alice
}
@enduml

Regards.
