[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#760186: nmtui: wifi-list for activation has same font color as background

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.10.0-1.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to set up a wifi connection with nmtui in a console. (Not a terminal
window in X11 but a text console that I got after the text login prompt.)

I proceeded to the "Activate a connection" option and wanted to select my
wifi network. I can scroll through many available wifi networks (the red bar
moves down and I can activate random networks by pressing enter). 

The problem is that I cannot find my network name since there is no text -
as if the font color is the same as the background color. This also does not
change when the red bar moves over the network name - it is all red.

What's funny is that the following is visible:

---------------------
Wired 
  Wired connection 1

Wi-Fi
---------------------

but there are no visible names of wifi networks below "Wi-Fi" (they are
still selectable).
