Moin Ralf,
please apply the patch below which will correct colour handling. The
outcome of this patch will only be visible with a monochrome graphics
card since they can see what is written on the screen again.
As you can see, not all occasions where the currently used colour is
changed, isn't protected by the 'if (can_do_color)' check. Some
occurrences though use it.
This patch is done basically by Thiemo Seufer during this years'
Oldenburg meeting.
Regards,
Joey
