Hmm - it should do, and it sounds like a bug we need to investigate. I
think I've heard it reported before.

This bug sounds similar:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2790247&group_id=161080&atid=818426


If you think this is the same issue you are seeing, please add any
additional details you have there.


PS:

The latest code in git HEAD:

git clone git://git.gpleda.org/gaf.git

Has some options on the menu for changing colour scheme whilst running.
It is on the "View" menu, and has shortcuts "vl" and "vd".

I'd appreciate if you could verify that the above gschemrc / gafrc bug
is present in the git HEAD version as well. I'm away for a few days, and
I know I'll forget!
