Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. First reproduce the behavior with micro 2.0.3 under TERM=xterm-direct and TERM=xterm-256colors on the specified terminal environment, then trace the terminal capability and color handling; done means xterm-direct starts without the delay and displays more than blue.
