For me, the new white ones introduced in 11.3 are hard to see. Especially when remotely controlling a machine from the Gnome terminal. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just start Yast in a remote Gnome terminal. 2. 3. Actual Results: The shortcuts are washed out. Expected Results: For them to stand out more from the other text. If others voted for the new white color scheme I'd be just as happy if there was a way to change the shortcut color to something I like... -- 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.

As you can see from the second attachment, the cursor is orange and is at the end of the "Server Name" field. But, as the third attachment shows, if I use the error keys and move it back over the text, the cursor's position disappears. In this case, I have moved the cursor back three places and it is actually on the "o" character of .org. For the record, my Gnome desktop is running the Clearlook theme and the Gnome terminal app. is set to use the system theme. I have tried other themes and they all give the same results. -- 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.

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.

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.
