By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description ThoMaus 2016-04-19 13:09:27 CDT 
"konsole" does not honor colorizing and bolding via terminal escape sequences in parallel, i.e. you can have either colored text or bold standard (white/black depending on background) text, but not bold colored text.

Many other "xterm" implementations (all I tested), manage to honor both attributes independently.

Thomas,
can you provide a sample escape sequence that is not working?
I have no problem on my system to use bold and color at the same time, regardless of the order used.
I tried in xterm as well, same behaviour.

By the way, what settings are you using for Konsole? I am using XTerm 4.x.x mode.

I mean "keyboard settings" from the settings menu

Try the following in the shell:
---8<--------------------------------
export COLOR_green=`tput setaf 2 2>/dev/null`
export MODE_bold=`tput bold 2>/dev/null`
export MODE_normal=`tput sgr0 2>/dev/null`

echo "1: normal text"
echo "2: ${MODE_bold}bold${MODE_normal} text"
echo "3: ${COLOR_green}colored${MODE_normal} text"
echo "4: ${COLOR_green}${MODE_bold}colored+bold${MODE_normal} text"
---8<--------------------------------

Here, within TDE's 'konsole', #4 is colored and brighter than #3 (and as bright as #1), but not bold as #2.

In all other terminal implementations (e.g. XFCE, gnome, cinnamon, lumina, KDE4, ...), the display is consistent and orthogonal.

But as indicated: that is only a minor issue, as there is a visual difference. It is just confusing without direct comparison of the modes as in the little script above, as colored 'bold' is 'brighter' than 'colored' alone.

I'm using the default settings, which includes the XTerm 4.x.x keyboard mode.
