Package: roxterm-gtk2 Version: 2.7.2-1.1 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/roxterm Tags: upstream patch
The VTE block cursor can hide an underlying character when the cursor color is explicitly set to a color which closely matches the foreground color. VTE has a magic 'reverse video' mode for the cursor when the cursor color is set to NULL. This patch detects when the cursor color is set to one matching the foreground color and sets the cursor color to NULL in this case. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.9.3 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages roxterm-gtk2 depends on: ii libc6 2.17-7 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.12-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100.2-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.28.2-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.36.3-3 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.20-1 ii libice6 2:1.0.8-2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.32.5-5+b1 ii librsvg2-common 2.36.4-2 ii libsm6 2:1.2.1-2 ii libvte9 1:0.28.2-5 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.0-1 ii roxterm-common 2.7.2-1.1 roxterm-gtk2 recommends no packages. roxterm-gtk2 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information >From 9a9d9bf2a9bf64767dc7d542a580b6ac190a7469 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keith Packard <kei...@keithp.com> Date: Sat, 10 Aug 2013 21:31:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] When cursor colour matches fg colour, set cursor to NULL VTE has magic semantics for a NULL cursor colour, causing it to flip the text colour for characters under the cursor so you can read them that way.
