About a week ago, someone was complaining that when an attribute bit was set and you cleared the screen, that the whole screen went to that attribute. Well, the problem is that the attribute state implys a fg/bg color state change; in reality, the fg/bg color state should be kept seperate from the attribute state, even if it implies a color state change. That is, the clear sreen/area/character operations on a console should take the color into account as if the attributes were at state 0 instead of using the altered color table.
