Not that I would be aware of it but it could very well be
a newly introduced bug (I rewrote a good deal of the browser
code). Am I correct in assuming that you set up the browser
colors with

fl_set_object_color()

with the first color being set to FL_BLACK and the second
one to FL_GREEN? In that case I agree fully that, according
to the documentation, the color of text added to the browser
should be in green.

I will have a look...[noise of keyboard clicking in the back-
ground]...Uuu, yes, there seems to be a bug. Thank you very
much for bringing it to my attention!

Unfortunately, that doesn't help you immediately unless you are
prepared to try out the newest test release to be out in hopefully
a few hours and to be compiled by yourself, sorry. At the moment
the only "fix" would be to put "@C2" in front of every line you
send to the browser - setting the line color by preceeding it with
that kind of "escape sequence" still seems to work...

                           Best Regards, Jens
