Reverse attribute hides text when st.opacity = 0 #75

Open zzzaim opened 5 years ago

zzzaim commented 5 years ago

Text with the reverse attribute shows text in white background and foreground, therefore hides the text. This includes the block cursor.

This issue has something to do with alpha. Text foreground color when in reverse mode somehow uses the alpha set by st.opacity. So my st.opacity: 0 setting actually makes reverse texts transparent.

So my st.opacity: 0 setting actually makes reverse texts transparent.

isn't this an intended behavior though?

UPD: ah, that would require to have some logic which would remove the alpha from the colored backgound behind the text, so the text would be actually transparent

so indeed discrading alpha component for reversed should be the best way to go
