The "xterm X11" menu in xterm has too horizontal lines drawn on it
separating different parts of the menu. Neither of those lines are
supposed to be highlighted when the cursor is moved over them, because
they are separators rather than menu items. This works fine with the
top line, but when my cursor moves over the bottom line it is
highlighted.
Furthermore, when the xterm switches into reverse video and popup
menus are used, the colors of highlighted items are wrong. I use
yellow foreground and navy blue background, resulting in navy blue
foreground and yellow background when in reverse video. Although
it's hard to tell exactly what the colors end up being, it looks like
when I highlight an item the foreground of the highlighted item is
yellow (as it should be) while the background switches to a light
purplish color, definitely not the navy blue it should be.
