Status: RESOLVED FIXED

This page does not specify colors.  My default colors are white
text on black background.  The table cells print in white, but
the rule (only one in this example, but I've tried others too)
prints in black (so I can't see it unless I change my
background color).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.In Preferences>Appearance>Colors, set background to black, foreground to white.
2.Load the URL  http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~bh/v1ch4/
3.Search for the text "actual argument"

Actual Results:  
The table contents appear, but the rule that should be under the first line is
invisible because it's black-on-black.

Expected Results:  
The rule should be the same color as the text.

Bernd convinced me at first that this duplicated 190655,
but that one's about <HR> rules, and they seem to be drawn
differently from table rules.  On my black background I
*can* see <HR>s, but *can't* see table rules.

looks like an explanation for this

gives a broad hint that this requires a larger rewrite (than I am able to do).
