            Bug ID: 326524
           Summary: Konsole fails to show on highlight "spoiler" text in
                    irc clients
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.11.2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
               URL: http://i.imgur.com/Apy1vRv.png
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: copy-paste
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: ryanrms at gmail.com

When someone sends text that has the same colour as the background of the
terminal, or has the same background and foreground colour specified (ex:
<ctrl+c color code flag>1,1black text on black background) Konsole fails to
show the text on highlight, instead just showing a black box.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open an IRC client in Konsole, send text using a colour code (ctrl+c, then
type 1,1 on irssi for example)
2. Highlight the text
3. Text is still unreadable on highlight
Actual Results:  
Konsole highlights and copies the text, but it is still unreadable.

Expected Results:  
Konsole shows the text on highlight, preferably white on black or black on
white depending on colour theme.  For expected results, try out urxvt.

Workaround involves highlighting the text to copy it to the X buffer, and then
middle click pasting it into a text editor.  A hassle, but works.
