Subject: [sup-talk] Strange random changing of default colors
Date: Wed, 20 May 2009 07:55:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a412e2a70905200755n58df4ed2k77b9a1926d876ee@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
For while now I've been running off of the next branch,
and I've been noticing strange and hard-to-reproduce
problems with sup changing the default colors. When
I start it, things are fine for a few minutes, and the default
colors (for things like the unused portion of the display
or quoted text) are fine. Then after a few minutes,
the default colors will get changed to yellow-on-black,
or black-on-red, or some other strange thing. I haven't
been able to track down exactly what causes this.
Sometimes it happens when going through my inbox;
sometimes from doing a '/' to search for a string.
The only thing I can say is that the new default colors
seem to have been picked from some line that was
being displayed by sup. For example, a few times
when an "unreceived message" line was being displayed
in a thread, and I moved the highlight over that line,
the default colors got changed to the colors of that
line (black on red in this case).
I've seen this on both Fedora Core 4 with xterm,
and OpenSUSE 10.2 with konsole. So it's possible
it's a problem with older versions of ncurses.
I'll try this on Ubuntu 8.10 at some point soon.
Has anybody else noticed this?
