It is working for me as expected.

used your commandline and I get blue letters on a white background (this is with 10.5.5 and 2.3.1).

Note that I do not have any xterm defaults set in a XTerm or Xresources local file.

Here's what the man page says:

-rv This option indicates that reverse video should be simulated by swapping the foreground and background colors.

+rv Disable the simulation of reverse video by swapping foreground and background colors.

If that's not what is happening, I suggest you mention it to Thomas (CC'd).


Right. With -rv (or without any [-+]rv) you get the fg and bg colors specified on the command line; with +rv they are swapped. Expected behavior is that -rv swaps the fg and bg and +rv doesn't, i.e. the opposite of what actually happens.

(And my friend acked the official bug report, so hopefully it won't b e lost.)
