yes - that, and the option C screen are the ones I used for testing
(which is why option C provides for scrolling).

hmm - no time for debugging it at the moment.  But some ideas: I've
done most of the testing for this feature using color_set() rather
than the masking (other than checking that attron, etc., work properly).
So we might find a bug.  I don't see offhand anything wrong with the
test case - will look into it.
