There is a guard to only check if the current tag currentTag has a index in colorTagIndices:
github.com/rivo/tview@711ef394f9/textview.go (L623)
when it hits the end tag it increments the currentTag
github.com/rivo/tview@711ef394f9/textview.go (L625)
and then produces a panic in the next line because the new tag is not bound checked against colorTagIndices

so from my understanding that would be solved by changing 627 to if currentTag < len(colorTagIndices) && colorTagIndices[currentTag][1]-colorTagIndices[currentTag][0] > 2 {
