Hya,

System
Debian jessie

hexer 0.1.7-1.1
less 458-2
xterm 303-1

.Xresources looks like$TERM is xterm

Situation
On a xterm window, use hexer to edit something, then exit.
On the same xterm window, use less to do something, do search with '/'.

This is what I got.
The screen (less), partially turns into blue, which is background color of hexer.

I have tried
Do same thing on console ($TERM linux) -> things look OK. This console is color enabled. (ls --color=auto gives me colored output)

Checked bug report. -> not found on hexer.

Used uxterm-> ran into same situation.

Checked shell variables and environmental variables. -> These look good, although I am not positive.

Web search with "less" as one of keywords was a kind of useless.

Question
Does anybody else run into same situation?

Closing remark
Thanks for your assistance. Have a nice Penguin.

cheers

Still under troubleshooting process.

It looks like that hexer uses escape sequence to control color.

So, an escape sequence '\x1b[0m' could solve the problem.

I need to figure out where to put.

cheers

Thanks for that second post. I am a grumpy geezer, just a noob really. Maybe even an advanced noob. Never heard of hexer.

Am completely fascinated. Hope you keep this thread updated as to your progress on this problem.

Hya,

Even such an expert does not know what hexer is!! It is a binary editor. I use it to remove several bytes from text file output of libreoffice-writer.

cheers.

Due to copyright related matter, I decided not to modify its source code.

So, after hexer is my solution.

Is is as boring as it can be.

Thanks for your attention.
