Bug Description

The new test-selection screen in canonical-certification-server uses underscores on the final screen line to identify which keys select certain options. These underscores are sometimes invisible, though; I've attached a screen shot of a run under VirtualBox, for example. Of course, VirtualBox isn't an important issue, but the program might be run on a system with a screen that's slightly maladjusted to make the underscores invisible or from an X terminal that has much the same effect as shown in the screen shot.

I recommend placing a blank line below those lines, moving them to the top, or using some other method (inverse video, say) to highlight the keys used to select and launch the tests.

I'd vote for inverse video to keep the maximum of lines to render the test selection

Here's another vote for inverse video: I see systems with pure B&W glass all the time, so no color cues, inverse would be nice.
