Issues with terminal STRING which always outputs an error [message #1817535]

I got another question about XText.

I got the following code in my dsl:

Foot:
    name="foot" ':' ('off' |
    ((('bgcolor' ':' bgcolor=COLOR) | ('bgpattern' ':' bgpattern=PATTERN) | ('bgimage' ':' bgimage=IMAGESRC))?
    & ('position' ':' position=SIZE_POS)? 
    & ('size' ':' size=SIZE_POS)?
    & ('text' ':' text=STRING)? ))
;

In the user environment (sorry for my terminology) I'm using this:

foot:
position: 200x200
size: 299x200
text: asdffsadfsad

However, text is returning an error for every combination of characters. The error is: mismatched input 'asdffsadfsad' expecting RULE_STRING. Why does it give me this error? I would like to be able to also use colons(:) or spaces in that field. How can I achieve this?

I started with a clean XText project and I did not override the terminal STRING.

Having this in the user environment will generate the same error message:
[code]foot:
position: 200x200
size: 299x200
text: "sadfsad"/code]

Thanks already for your response XText god (C. Dietrich).

I believe I fixed it myself. I changed almost all the terminal rules to parser rules. And that fixed it, now I can use a string between '' . The reason for this is unknown to me but it works so thanks!
