Yes, I've been using it for a long time as well without issues. I've never |
| 22 |
had this issue before. |

I'm familiar with dircolors. To the best of my knowledge, there's nothing in |
| 28 |
dircolors which configures how selected text is displayed. It's simply |
| 29 |
inverted text. That is, the background color and the foreground color are |
| 30 |
switched. |
| 31 |

A little more experimenting has shown that this is what happens on my terminal |
| 33 |
with any color other than the default light gray on black. For example, if I |
| 34 |
do a "ls," the files show up in various colors based on dircolors. If I |
| 35 |
select colored files, they show up in inverse. But if I select non-colored |
| 36 |
light gray text, I get black on black. If I use 'less' to display a file, |
| 37 |
there's a status line at the bottom which shows the line number, etc. in |
| 38 |
inverted text. On my terminal, it's black on black and invisible. If I |
| 39 |
highlight it with the mouse, however, it shows up as light gray on black and |
| 40 |
is visible. |
| 41 |
|

If I switch to another tty (CTL-ALT-F2) and log in, dircolors settings work |
| 43 |
properly. Selected text with gpm shows up as inverse, and the status line at |
| 44 |
the bottom of the 'less' windows displays properly as well. So I don't think |
| 45 |
the issue is with dircolors. |

It's only with inverted normal text on konsole. |
