When I select text in console it's scrambled. I looked at the

the code that manages selection/cut/paste ?

The selected text is scrambled in this way: every char has
the bits 1,2,3 swapped with bits 5,6,7 respectively (bits
numbered left to right). I don't know what can cause this
strange behaviour... I thought the console screen was a
simple array of char/colour pairs.

I don't see this (B&W G3, 2.2.19pre14). I understand this is only a problem if
you enable VGA console (which I don't have enabled).
