Package: screen-message
Version: 0.23-1
Severity: normal

Hello and thanks for maintaining screen-message in Debian.

I hope that using the above pseudo-headers will assign my bug report
to the correct package (you should really solve the package name
conflict with that other CRAN thing once and for all!).

Today I upgraded a number packages on a Debian testing box.
After that, sm became unable to set the background color requested
by the user with the -b option:

  $ sm -f lawngrenn -b black

currently results in lawngreen text on *white* background. No matter
which color I pass as argument to the -b or --background= option,
the background color stays white.

Since sm has not been upgraded, I think that this new misbehavior
is due to some library upgrade.
The only sm dependency among the upgraded packages is:

  [UPGRADE] libgtk-3-0:amd64 3.18.9-1 -> 3.20.3-2

As a consequence, I consider it the prime suspect.

I don't know whether this is a bug in libgtk-3-0 or something that
needs to be adapted in sm. Please investigate and forward my report
upstream or reassign it, as appropriate.

Thanks for your time!
