Subject: xterm: bold color attribute now displaying as black by default
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2009 12:00:04 -0500
Package: xterm
Version: 244-1
Severity: minor
With yesterday's update of xterm, bold attributes are
displaying in the color black. I'm assuming '+bdc' got set by default
somehow instead of '-bdc'?
Anyway, since a lot of people probably use black as their
default background color, this might cause a lot of problems. Not only
did portions of my prompt string disappear in my shell (minor issue),
but man pages are pretty much unreadable.
Simply setting the resource (or passing the '-bdc' option to my
xterm) fixes the problem. I'm not sure if this is something you need to
address, but I'm submitting this report for reference sake at the very
least.

Package: xterm
Severity: normal
Actually, it appears that suddenly the colorBDMode resource is
being honored. I had it (along with colorBLMode and colorULMode)
defined in my .Xresources file as true.
So it appears yesterday's update actually fixed a long standing
issue possibly. You can close this report since things appear to be
working as they should have been all along now.

I can't reproduce this. manpages are readable for me with the default
settings, and xterm +bdc makes bold text disappear.
Anything particular in your setup?
Cheers,
Julien

You may not have gotten my update to that bug report. I
think you inadvertently fixed something with this most recent
release. The fact that colorBDMode was enabled was actually my
own fault (I had it in my .Xresources). But I've had it in my
.Xresources for years now, and this only just now became an
issue.
So disabling colorBDMode fixed my problem. And regarding
this issue, xterm is actually working as documented now (which
apparently it wasn't before). So thanks! :)

Right, I got it just after replying to the initial report :)

My interpretation of this (man xterm):
,----
| colorBD (class ColorBD)
| This specifies the color to use to display bold characters if
| the ``colorBDMode'' resource is enabled. The default is
| ``XtDefaultForeground.''
`----
is that setting colorBD without colorBDMode being enabled won't do
anything useful. Am I wrong?

joy :( Here's my resources:

Description:
xterm - X terminal emulator
Closes: 531597541089541160541236541603
Changes:
xterm (246-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release
+ interaction between allowSendEvents and the various allowXXXOps
resources clarified in manpage (closes: #531597)

work on 64-bit platform. Wrapping flags (stored in the line-index) are
now copied with line-data (closes: #541160)
+ modify comments in app-defaults files to avoid problem with C
preprocessor used by xrdb (closes: #541603)
+ restore special case in makeColorPair needed for colorBDMode resource
(closes: #541089)
+ correct SetLineFlags() macro, broken in patch #244 when recoding to
avoid gcc-specific bitfields (closes: #541236)
* The issues with the fifo-lines code should now be fixed, so enable it
again.
