Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I have just these 4 lines in my .emacs

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/color-theme"))
(require 'color-theme)
(color-theme-initialize)
(color-theme-tty-dark)


1. Start up Emacs -nw (This is in an iTerm in Mac 10.5.6)
2. Open a file
3. Set mark to activate  region. As you expand the region, the text in
it "disappears". I guess it is being shown black on black
4. Do M-x color-theme-tty-dark. The region now has a white background
and the text can be seen.

The behaviour is the same whether or not the last line
(color-theme-tty-dark) is in .emacs or not. It is as if that command
needs to be run manually for the colors to take effect properly

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/Users/svasan/projects/emacs/cvs-emacs/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc/DEBUG
for instructions.

Closing this bug report, since we can't do anything about it as the
color-theme package is not part of GNU Emacs; also Emacs 24 uses a
separate custom theme mechanism for theming.
