Reverse video rendered as blinking text, and attrcolor is gone

Hi screen-users,

I recently updated from screen-4.0.2 which I had my own patches against to the latest development branch. I love most of the changes but one thing is incredibly annoying. Anything rendered as reverse video outside of screen renders as blinking text inside of screen. E.g. when I run cal, the current date blinks. When I search for something in less, the highlights blink.

In older versions of screen, I could have used attrcolor to remap this new behavior away, but that command was removed in 2015. Is there anything I can do with current versions? As it is, it's spectacularly annoying.

I also noticed that screen now prompts for a password whenever I try to reattach and that this is a known issue with plans to make the behavior configurable again. No password I try to enter works, and "password" is no longer recognized as a command. I had to patch CheckPassword in socket.c to finally be able to reattach to screen. Is this on the roadmap for being made configurable?

Thanks,
János
