If you run it from the command line you'll probably see that the
generation failed. The tex file will be in the tmp directory. Run
latex on it by hand and look in the log. You'll probably be missing
\usepackage{color}
in the preamble...
As for the permanent "Preview loading"... message --- I know. That's
what I meant whaen I said that the preview code is old and creaking
at the knees. It needs refactoring.
