Description Magnus Anderson 2021-12-31 06:56:17 UTC 
SUMMARY
***
When displaying escape sequences, it looks like `□[431;Some Text□[42;` instead of displaying text in color (I'm going off memory here for what the numbers are, as I don't actually know how to force discover to open the terminal)
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I'm actually not sure what the best way to do this is. I noticed the problem because Garuda Linux prints any `.pacnew` files you have in color to get you to notice it.
1. ???
2. Get Discover's terminal to print color
3. It doesn't

EXPECTED RESULT
Prints color according to which escape sequence is seen

It's not an integrated terminal, we are reading /var/log/pacman.log. I find it quite odd that there's ANSI color codes in files...

I guess we could drop them or just find another way to go about it...
