Bug#750733: Newest version sets the foreground to the background color in some cases
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
Package: xterm
Version: 306-1
Severity: normal
At least in combination with clusterssh, the foreground color gets set
to the same color than the background for prompt and some other stuff.
Other output on the other hand gets there correct color. It is pretty
dificult to read white commands on white background. ;-)
xterm is called with -fg and -bg on the command line from cssh. But I
checked, they are correct.
I tracked that particular bug down to 306-1. 304-1 was working correct.
Further investigation shows that it is the combination with "-font 5x8".
Using "xterm -font 5x8" lets you reproduce the error.
