I have a problem that I hope someone here can help me with. I have compiled both lynx2.8.5dev.9 and 2.8.4 --with-screen=slang and --enable-default-colors for i386 3.0 Debian Linux (kernel 2.4.18); I have tried both slang-1.4.4 and slang-1.4.6.
Whenever the "Show color" option is set to OFF using the options screen, the display refreshes with/changes to color, no matter what the terminal type. This results in color activating just by visiting the options page and choosing "Accept Changes". The color can be forced off with the NEVER option. Using the -nocolor command line option starts the application in monochrome, but exhibits the same problem when visiting the Options page. Since -anonymous mode only allows ON or OFF, this results in -anonymous users getting color every time they change ANY option, rendering their monochrome terminals unuseable (no bold differentiation or prompt). Even when using VT100, the program starts with the "Show color" option off and working correctly; however, whenever any option is changed, colors are activated. I have tried this with ncurses and it behaves correctly, but slang renders better for me on a variety of terminals. Is this behavior by design or a bug? Is there a new config setting I should set to allow OFF to actually work? Version 2.8.3 worked as I expected. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
