Bug 314993 – x11-terms/terminal: cursor background wrong (colored font instead of background)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Lubos Kolouch 2010-04-13 14:06:57 UTC]

After recent system update the behaviour of "cursor color" in terminal has changed.

Before it was changing cursor background, now it changes cursor font color.
This makes the cursor pretty much invisible.
Screenshots will be attached to the bug.

It seems that the bug is in some underlaying library, as downgrade from terminal-0.4.4 to 0.4.2 did not solve the problem.

I could reproduce this issue both on ~x86 and ~amd64

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch x11-terms/terminal
2.move cursor
3.cursor font color is changed, instead of cursor background

Actual Results:  
The font color of the character on which the curor is, is changed

Expected Results:  
The background color of the character on which the curor is, is changed

Wrong cursor color - font color

[Comment 3 Lubos Kolouch 2010-04-13 14:09:31 UTC]

I did the emerge --info in a chroot from arch linux (where the terminal works OK), so please ignore the -ARCH things in the emerge --info

[Comment 4 Lubos Kolouch 2010-04-18 20:51:41 UTC]

ping? can I try something?

[Comment 5 Lubos Kolouch 2010-04-27 18:30:08 UTC]

Probably something related to ccache. I copied gentoo from my other machine, reemerged, cannot reproduce there
