--- Comment #3 from Stefan B. <sblachmann@gmail.com> ---
I have made a photo, sorry for the bad quality. I can make other photos or =
vbox
screenshots if needed for better quality.

Please zoom into the upper-left corner and look at the red box surrounding =
the
mouse cursor, below the letters "unk".
This can be reproduced on any program that uses dialog, for example bsdinst=
all.

The color background of all character boxes intersecting with the mouse cur=
sor
is affected.
So the shape of the "red box" varies as you move the mouse, causing a
less-than-ideal first impression of FreeBSD.

I have not yet encountered any hardware on which this artifact does not hap=
pen.
With the SC console, I have never seen this.
So I am quite sure that it is not a hardware issue, but a vt newcons issue.

BTW, as you can see, ensuring functional suspend/resume by autoconfiguring =
the
"correct console to use" caused some substantial work for me while writing =
the
Skunk Installer.
It would be awesome if from some FreeBSD RELEASE version onward the Skunk
Installer would no longer have to revert the computer to using the SC conso=
le.

Thus I highly appreciate your work on fixing/improving vt newcons! Thank you
very much!
