Changing the gnome-terminal color selection to Black on light yellow is slightly flawed. When first selected and applied, the terminal window changes to yellow correctly but existing text becode "grey" rather than black. New text is black. This is very minor but it does seem to be a bug.
I can't reproduce it here with RC1.
I had a hunch that was going to be the case. It does not always work this way. It may be some combination. For me, if it occurs, it is repeatable. But, it does not always occur and is not important enough to worry about.
I couldn't reproduce it either. Maybe reopen the bug if you can pin down the exact steps required to get it to happen...
