Research direction

Reproduce the background-colour behavior in io.elementary.terminal using micro 2.0.10 at commit b9763856, then compare it with the expected grey background in xterm. Trace the terminal colour handling from the editor entry point; done when the background renders consistently in both terminal environments.
