ES->US: I can't see any problem there.
ES->mrosin: please add a screenshot of this "sickly" display.
Which green do you use?
Comment 6 mrosin 2004-11-25 08:17:37 UTC 
I will come back to this again next time I see a really sickly one.  My guess is
it was when I was looking at a document in Japanese using a Mincho (serif) style
antialiased font. So it may not be so obvious a bug, may not be a bug at all.
Comment 7 mrosin 2005-02-28 13:22:52 UTC 
This is part of a family of problems caused by using light fonts or difficult
backgrounds.  I used green or white text on olive often to save my eyes.

I think choosing a different font will solve the problem of not being able to
see a light colored one.

However I just found (on 1.9.62 snapshot) that if you are using white font on
black background, you cannot see the table grid!  So you cannot edit a table
when you are using an inverted display and that is indeed a bug.  Please confirm.
Comment 8 ulf.stroehler 2005-02-28 13:27:36 UTC 
@mrosin: 1.9.62 is slightly outdated; pls use a more up-to-date snapshot.
Anyway, if reproducible, pls. open a new issue for the latter finding. Thank you.
