What foreground color is the selected text, and what is the background of the `default' face? In fact, could you please provide a recipe starting from "emacs -Q -nw"? > 2.

The default background of "emacs -nw" on Windows is black. Again, please provide a full recipe. If I start with "emacs -Q -nw", then change the fore- and back-ground colors of the `default' face to black and white, respectively (so at least my background is as yours), then type "M-x report-emacs-bug", I get the `message-header-name' whose foreground is "corneflower blue" (mapped to cyan), not yellow. And the "--text follows this line--" part is shown in brown (displays as a kind of light yellowish color). They are quite legible (although the white background is too glaring to my taste; but then it isn't the default). But you describe entirely different colors. > 3.

All the rest is ridiculous: > magenta, yellow, light cyan foregrounds on a white background - by default? > What were you thinking? I don't know what were "we" thinking, because I don't see any of these colors when I try to reproduce this. Would you please show a complete recipe, starting from "emacs -Q -nw", to reproduce these problems?
