Bug#541089: xterm: bold color attribute now displaying as black by default
Package: xterm
Version: 244-1
Severity: minor
With yesterday's update of xterm, bold attributes are
displaying in the color black. I'm assuming '+bdc' got set by default
somehow instead of '-bdc'?
Anyway, since a lot of people probably use black as their
default background color, this might cause a lot of problems. Not only
did portions of my prompt string disappear in my shell (minor issue),
but man pages are pretty much unreadable.
Simply setting the resource (or passing the '-bdc' option to my
xterm) fixes the problem. I'm not sure if this is something you need to
address, but I'm submitting this report for reference sake at the very
least.
