>Description:
When entering sysinstall's fdisk or disklabel menu from within an
xterm (or rxvt) with TERM=xterm-color, only the currently highlighted
line is visible. All other text is invisible.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. start an xterm
2. export TERM=xterm-color
3. run /stand/sysinstall in that xterm
4. chose 'Configure Do post-install configuration of FreeBSD'
5. chose 'Fdisk The disk Slice (PC-style partition) Editor'
6. chose a disk (press space)
In a plain xterm, the whole screen shows red background with only one
line with yellow text, e.g.
8466255 945 8467199 - 6 unused 0
All other text is not displayed (it's red on red); you can see other
lines using the arrow keys, but only one line at a time is displayed.
Header and footer are always invisible.
If instead you do
5. chose 'Label The disk Label editor'
the same effect manifests. In addition some highlighting is not properly
undone when moving from the first partition entry up to the last slice
entry, e.g. in my case when moving from the line with da0s1a to the line
with da0s2 (this happens at the console as well: the da0s1a stays
highlighted; under X11 it changes from yellow foreground to black
foreground.)
