            Bug ID: 29789
           Summary: tui enable trash terminal color palette
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: tui
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: phi.debian at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Hi,

On latest build (and since the epoch I guess) "tui enable" trash the terminal
color palette.

My terminals (xterm, mate-terminal, terminator, etc..) all have their color
setup to my liking (theme)

When entering GDB in TUI mode, curses don't temper with colors, so all is fine,
notably, the src-win rendering with color is super.

(gdb) tui disable

Color still ok 

(gdb) list 1 

Still ok

(gdb) tui enable

xterm color palette trashed, a reset escape sequence is sent to xterm, src_win
color ugly (barely readable in my case, contrast)

To restore this without exiting GDB, while in tui enable mode

(gdb) shell setup-terminal-palette
(gdb) ^L

I forgot to precise that I am using TERM=xterm-256color on thoses terminals
(mate-terminal, terminator, more generally all libvte and xterm)

ncurses don't provide a way to save and restore the color setup for color
[0-7], so this must be done 'manually' i.e via esc seq when TERM is xterm-256
(only).

This one can be closed s 'pilot error'

All my terminals where setting their palette from xterm-256 esc sequences, i.e
each terminal had their own 'ugly' colors, and I programed them to something
different via esc sequence.

Actually all those terminals have other way to setup their palette, libvte
(mate terminal, terminator, etc...) can setup their default palette in their
config menu, and xterm accept Xresources. 

Doing a setup this way make GDB don't trash the terminal, actually this is not
GDB but curses that trash, and this is not trashing, this is reset to default.

So this is a pilot error.

Cheers,
