Using the alternate screen destroys color in scrollback

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Display some colored text (e.g. ‘date | grep --color [0-9]’).
2. Do something that uses the alternate screen (e.g. start ‘less’ and quit 
it).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
After leaving the alternate screen, the colored text becomes black-and-
white.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
shellinabox 2.10 (r200) on a Debian 5.0 server, Ubuntu 10.04 client with 
Firefox 3.6.
