It isn't turning attributes off, but (1) "erase with black color" instead of (2) "erase with background color". I.e. Elm can turn reverse on, then attempt to clear screen or end of line. For (1) you got clear screen, for (2) you got reverse screen. Sounds like Elm error, it must turn off highlight before any clearing. Curses works this way. Maybe it is recent SCO addition (erase with black color). I check Xenix box and got the same behaviour like in FreeBSD. Can you check Linux console too? (it attempts to emulate SCO somehow). Advantage of "erase with background color" is that you can quickly fill whole screen with any color without putting lots of damn spaces. -- Andrey A.
