Re: Weird cosmetic bug after viewing bash man page
I've seen this as well, my prompt(and everything I type)turning white
if I don't go through the "bash" man page all the way to the end. I
note that "stty sane" does nothing, nor does hitting enter; my prompt
stays white. (This is in tcsh, where my "prompt" variable is "[%n@%m
%c02]$". In the standard window, it's gray on black.)
I note that when I look at the man pages for bash, there seems to be a
lot of highlighted-in-white text, a lot more than on the Linux version
of the same page. Perhaps the bash maintainer should be looking at
the codes in the man page?
I have absolutely everything installed in the latest 'curr' versions
as of this morning on the mirrors. In particular:
Package Version
bash 3.2.5-8
cygwin 1.5.22-1
man 1.6d-2
tcsh 6.14.00-5
less 381-1
I don't see the need to include the entirety of my cygcheck.out, all
81K of it, but I can if need be.
