The Hop column and its color

Sometimes a trace shows lines that are "out of order". This can happen with time out traces or traces with not responding targets. Often they show data from a recent trace.

To visualize this situation these hops number fields get a different color.

In this sample hop #15 is not in sync with the trace.
