Observed output in konsole

SUMMARY
Konsole always prints "bold" as "light" / "intense".  This is the same color as
"light red" and "bold light red".  Other Terminals (e.g., Gnome and macOS) have
an option "[ ]  Print bold as light color" that you can turn of to actually get
a bold red.  In konsole, the option is "[ ] Print light as bold" which is the
inverse and IMHO does not make so much sense.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure the color scheme to have different colors for "red" and "red
intense"
2. Run the command `echo -e '\e[0;31mRed\n\e[1;31mRed (bold)\n\e[1;91mLight red
(bold)\n\e[0;91mLight red\e[0m'`

OBSERVED RESULT
Line 1 are "red"
Lines 2-4 are "red intense"
Lines 1,4 are regular
Lines 2,3 are bold

EXPECTED RESULT
Lines 1-2 are "red"
Lines 3-4 are "red intense"
Lines 1,4 are regular
Lines 2,3 are bold
