It was a b*tch to get the ocelot running on any of my machines.

However I have successfully replicated the issue in the Alpha 3 version using a Live-USB.
1. Create a Live USB (not CD)
2. Boot from it.
3. Try without installing
4. Open terminal
5. Type: ls -l /

Since the Live-USB does not have a vmlinuz and initrd.img in /boot the symbolic links in the root are broken, and have a dark background.
The first try shows colour bleeding on the /vmlinuz symbolic link, subsequent ls -l in the same terminal show colour bleeding on the initrd.img link too.

Title:
  Background color leaks to next row when scrolling

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

  The background (and possibly foreground) colour leaks to the next row
  when the output forces the terminal to scroll down while wrapping the
  coloured text.

  Reproduction is relatively easy:
  1. Open terminal.
  2. Create a link to a missing file with a long path, so that it needs to wrap.
    ln -s /path/to/some/very/long/and/definitely/missing/file sample
  3. List the file (long format with color)
    ls -ln sample
  4. Continue listing until the terminal fills up, and starts wrapping and scrolling at the same time.
  5. Observe the new lines background colour.
