Personally, I'm using "Linux Console" color scheme in gnome-terminal which uses same the colors as xterm and it's OK there. The second problem is more severe, the cursor is not visible at all (in gnome-terminal) when it's moved in a text entry field, you simply don't know where it is. This makes the text mode UI hard to use => increasing severity and priority. In xterm the cursor has not visible but the letter at the cursor blinks - that's a strange behavior but still better than nothing. Rassigning to Gabi, the ncurses UI maintainer. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

AFAICS the problems are related to the combined character cchar_t (there are changes in struct cchar_t in ncurses6 concerning the color). We use 'win_wch' to get the combined char and 'add_wch' to write it back to the screen (after manipulation of the attributes). For me it seems that the color (and attributes?) aren't got (and/or written) correctly. YaST function for this is 'add_attr_char' from ncursesw.cc. ncursesw.cc and ncursesw.h from yast2-ncurses sources are attached. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I don't see any mixed usage in your sample, so it's possible that the problem is an incorrect merge in the ncurses library. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If it has not been included yet, please ignore this comment. Just installed OpenSuSE 11.4 RC1. In Yast in text-mode, cursor is not visible. To reproduce: Install OpenSUSE 11.4 with default settings. After logon in GNome desktop, right-click to open a Terminal Window. su to root. Start yast. Go for example to System->Bootloader. Use <tab> key to locate cursor at end of Kernel Image. Press <left> several times. No cursor anymore. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
