Package: libncurses5
Version: 5.5-1
Severity: normal
My apologies if you've seen this already, it vanished into
a black hole the first time I submitted it to the bts,
and I haven't heard from either you or Thomas, after
forwarding a copy directly a couple of days later.
It still hasn't shown up in the bts, so I'm submitting
it again now...
Hi,
I was poking at the use of terminal default colours today and
ran into what looks like a bug in assume_default_colors.
If it is called with neither of its arguments as -1, then
SP->_default_color is set to be false, and consequently
any attempt to use init_pair to define a color pair using
-1 to get the terminal default will fail.
eg.
assume_default_colors( COLOR_RED, COLOR_GREEN );
will set the default colours as specified, but it is then
impossible to init_pair( 1, COLOUR_WHITE, -1 ); or any
similar combination.
It doesn't seem like there is anything that should
fundamentally prohibit that from working, and especially
if assume_default_colors might import its colour values
from the environment it would seem like init_pair should
still work as advertised after a successful call to one
of the *_default_colors functions.
But of course there may be more to this that I miss...
cheers,
Ron
