Package: fileutils
Version: 3.16-2
When using 'ls -l' with colour, lines that cannot fit in one physical line are
split and on the last line the background colour is not reset after the
trailing character. I reproduced this both within an xterm and on a virtual
console.
The weird thing is that when I tried to xwpick (in an xterm) this it turned out
to be correct in the gif file!

The bug trail on this amounts to "it's a feature, not a bug". :-/ If you disagree,
convince upstream. :-P
Closing as part of triage of 'kernel' bugs.
