Broken on Linux console

Open steviator opened this issue 6 months ago • 1 comments

Remember the Linux console? That place where you end up when you can't get any GUI to work, and where it would be really handy to have a reliable TUI text editor? Yeah, Microsoft Edit doesn't work very well there.

Expected behavior: Would work exactly like in a terminal in X11 or Wayland

Actual behavior: Menu bars and menus have a black background instead of the usual dark blue

Selecting text probably works properly, but you can't tell because selecting text doesn't change the color of it, so you need to guess whether it has been selected or not. I couldn't be bothered finding out, obviously nobody ever thought to test this on a real Linux console, so I gave up.

So close, and yet, so useless. I'll try again on the next release. I know it's not a very Microsoft thing to do, but perhaps you could try some testing before pointing the release cannon at the community.

We don't come to your house to be rude jerks to you, why would you do it to us?
