ConEmu: Prompt color in Far Manager

[ags1234]

There is this little color bug where the text of the terminal line is black on a black background.
Tried to change different colors in Settings - Features - Colors but couldn't find the problem.
Left the color scheme set to Murena.
How to fix this?

Wow, this seems like a serious issue!

Please use the vanilla ConEmu to ensure that the issue doesn't exist there.

If so, please find and upload ConEmu.xml from ConEmu as well as user_ConEmu.xml from Cmder.

Comparing these, I can find the problem and hopefully fix it.

Thanks 🙏👍

Thank you for replying.
The problem exists in ConEmu, too. I opened a bug report there, and a discussion here. I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than me has a hint on how to fix it.
It's not in something I changed, both ConEmu and Cmder were like this from the beginning in Far Manager.

Hopefully, @Maximus5 will see this and investigate, since he is a Far manager user himself (ConEmu has a pretty close history with Far manager itself).

Out of curiosity, are you able to test this with other consoles, such as Windows' built in conhost.exe, Windows Terminal, Mintty, and some modern other ones?

I noticed ConEmu development and support is slow or even stopped. That's why I opened this discussion here, because I saw more activity.

Yes, I tested other consoles and they all have the right colors, the font is visible without problems. This problem seems limited to the Far console.

I'll also conduct some tests later in ConEmu to see what triggers it, and how it may be solved. Sadly, ConEmu's development hasn't been continued for the last couple of years.

I hope it will not be abandoned, because it is an amazing piece of software.

Ok, thanks. Let me know if you find something.

Found it. The color of the text in command line can be modified from Far here:
Options - Colors - Command line - Prefix text - Foreground.

This was somehow misleading for me, since if Far is run outside of ConEmu / Cmder the text in the command line is visible without any modification.

However, I still consider that ConEmu / Cmder should not modify colors in such a way that text becomes invisible.
