Description Ryan Thompson 2010-01-17 07:32:29 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
Compiler:          gcc (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) 4.4.1 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When in 256-color mode, konsole will not show bold text using "intense" colors. It just uses the normal colors. This causes problems, because some text becomes invisible in some programs.

Bug is still present in KDE 4.5 packages from Kubuntu PPA

I have the problem that a ctermfg=15 highlight in Vim is "bright white" (#fff) when using "cterm=none", but grayish when using "cterm=bold" - it appears to use color 8 then instead.

I am not sure if this is what you've meant Ryan, but assuming it is, I will confirm this.

Let me know if you need some help for reproducing this, but in can be easily triggered in Vim using a highlight like this:
    hi StatusLine   ctermfg=15 cterm=bold

I think this bug is closely related with bug #274603, which has been fixed recently.

My experiment shows this is also fixed, but I am not sure. Can you check with the git version to see whether this is also fixed?

OK, I am now pretty sure this is a duplicate of #274603. Feel free to open if it is not a duplicate or not fixed in the devel version.
