Hi,
Since I upgraded from Wheezy to Jessie, shellinabox does not display
some graphics modes correctly.
As far as I can see, this would at least cover reverse video, because in
alpine the selected item in the menus now looks just like all other
items, which makes alpine mostly unusable.
It could be more than just reverse video though, because in elinks, many
pages have parts of the text (quotes, code sections...) rendered as
plain colored rectangles, with no visible text. Thankfully, elinks has
the % action, that seems to cycle the coloring algorithm.
Needless to say, both alpine and elinks were rendered perfectly (or at
least readable, so I did not notice a flaw) before Jessie.
On the client, I run latest Firefox, and I saw no difference between all
Firefox releases since the server was upgraded to Jessie.
Note: I cannot be sure that shellinabox is actually the culprit, and not
ncurses for example... However, if it is any indication, I did not spot
any difference in the rendering of aptitude.
Yves.
