In this [thread](https://discourse.processing.org/t/cant-handle-the-loop/3375/8) a similar issue is discussed. I modified my code so the color changes based on if it meets the regex or not. If there is a solution that would allow setText to work while the GTextField has focus I would really like to know about it.
