Bug Description

In the built in simulator plot window, after removing some signals and adding new ones, sometimes it reuses one of the colors already present. This makes it impossible to know which curve is which. It seems the algorithm for selecting colors are flawed and does not take into account which colors are already used. (Maybe it's currently just a simple round-robin, that also gets reset at the wrong times)
