It is not visible because the text color blends into the background
color; setting gnome-terminal's color scheme to white-on-black resolves
the issue.
If I comment the line «source! (elvispath("elvis.clr"))» in
/etc/elvis/elvis.ini, the problem is resolved; therefore, it would seem
to be a bug in the default configuration settings, rather than in elvis
itself. The settings in /etc/elvis/elvis.clr seem to assume a non-black
background when in terminal-mode. Changing the line within the "termcap"
section from «color normal yellow or black» to «color normal yellow or
black on white» also resolves the issue, in that it sets the background
to a light color and fills it in (I don't know enough about elvis to
know whether that could result in yellow-on-black in some instances).
