Bug Description
The boot loader selection screen used white text on a black background with the Ubuntu logo, and the entire line for the current selection was in inverse (i.e. black text on a white background). About a month ago, this changed, and now there is only a white cursor on the far right.
This makes it too hard to see which item is selected, especially as the description is on the left and the cursor is away from it on the far right.
Please bring back the old behavior.

My /boot/grub/menu.lst has the color directive disabled, so we're talking about the default behavior.
Setting it to
color white/black black/white
should be usable as a workaround.
