Short summary of the ncurses bug:
- when you call start_color() and then endwin() twice without calling
use_default_colors() in the middle, endwin() resets the color to grey on
black (and then clears to end of line, which leaves an ugly black bar in
my gnome-terminal which uses a white background).
Translated into muttrc:
- when you shell out to external programs before configuring 'default'
as a color name, you get this bug
This leads to a workaround I've just tested:
- edit /etc/Muttrc and insert
color normal default default
just above the last line, which is
source /usr/lib/mutt/source-muttrc.d|

Title:
mutt does not properly restore console colors on exit
Status in mutt package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in ncurses package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in mutt package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
With release of Ubuntu 16.04 Debian Bug 803405 also hits Ubuntu.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=803405
After quitting mutt (with q or x) mutt doesn't restore colors of the
console properly, colors are mangled, at least when colors used in
mutt are different from console colors. Tested in xfce4-terminal and
gnome-terminal, maybe also other terminal or text console is affected.
In addition to the information in the debian report this problem only
occurs when a .muttrc (even when empty) exists for the user. Without a
.muttrc file the behaviour of mutt on leaving is ok.
I could confirm this on amd64 and armv7l, so it seems platform
independent.
Even if the bug is already known in Debian I repost this in Ubuntu
just to have documented it also hits Ubuntu and to maybe have some fix
for current mutt version (or to get an update to next version in this
LTS release).
