I am using GENTOO Linux, the newest version of TECO-64 sources, and sys-libs/ncurses-6.4_p20230401, sys-libs/glibc-2.38-r7. I compiled TECO-64 myself.

When starting video mode like this:

5,7:w`-w``
<CTRL/K>

I get a white background with black characters (see previous issue). Lets make it colorful!

@F2/blue/green/``

...nothing happens.

<CTRL/K>

The colors had changed!...but the color combo is bad for my eyes. Let's change them again:

@F2/white/blue/``

Nothing happens. 

<CTRL/K>

Got stuck...nothing changed. This is not expected/

Well, you're certainly giving the extended features a workout. I appreciate that, even while I'm apologetic that you've smoked out some bugs. I do have an extensive set of automated smoke tests that I run before every release, but those are pretty much only for non-display mode. So I'm not surprised that a diligent user might discover something I missed. Regardless, I'll be putting on my debugging hat to charge after this and the other bugs you've reported.
