New description:
I have the following in my .muttrc:
{{{
color normal brightwhite black
}}}
The consequence is that almost all colors are bright. To reproduce the
bug:
{{{
mutt -F /dev/null
}}}
then type:
{{{
:color index blue green .
}}}
You can see that the behavior is correct (index is blue over green). Then
type:
{{{
:color normal brightwhite black
}}}
No changes. But after typing Ctrl-L, one can see that all colors are
bright except the current index line and the status bar (near the bottom).
This is an important problem as on some LCD screens, some combinations of
colors (in particular bright colors) are not readable with some angles.
This bug may be related to bug 1259.
