Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
See bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/498212 <summary> if a directory is chmod o+w and you do an ls from the gnome terminal command line, the directory gets coloured blue text on dark green background, making it almost impossible to read. Suggest removing the green background stripe. Can be worked-around by "unalias ls" in every shell window, but would be better if it was actually fixed ;) </summary> The coreutils bug referenced has been closed as "won't fix" as it only affects Gnome Terminal users. There is no debate that the colour combination used by ls for o+w directories, is very hard to read by most people. Having a directory as o+w isn't *necessarily* a Bad Thing - I certainly shouldn't be forced to chmod a directory just to be able to read its name! And this is a basic accessibility bug.
