Priority should be over 101.
I made a fresh session with only my highlights and a prompt trigger, then I added your trigger:
<trigger priority="6470" id="647">
<pattern>tells you</pattern>
<value>#color lightcyan
#window Tells {%time(t): %line}</value>
</trigger>
Working fine for me. I guess there some other reason to it. What CMUD version do you use? Perhaps other triggers or their combination affects it?
Open script debug window and try to track what exactly happens or post it here? Maybe your Tell window also have "tells you" trigger?
