Use [[macros:function:palette.mergecurrentpalette|]] instead
   * ''Programmer.Editor.Clear(...)'' clears the programmer (for the parameters see [[macros:function:Programmer.Editor.Clear]] - clears according to the current clear mask, clearing the presets as setglobally, in the globally set clear/release time)
