Using http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com/ as a reference, I've tested the 3.2.8 
release with the Multivue disks on the site. That can be used as a base for 
comparison with the current nightly builds.
To get the 3.2.8 disk to work, it is necessary to add the following to Startup:
cd sys
merge stdfonts stdptrs stdpats_4 stdpats_16
If these files aren't present on the boot disk, they will be on an MV disk. It 
will also be necessary to copy to the boot disk from an MV disk all the program 
files and the sys/env.file .
One crucial change must be made in the test env.file which will set MV to use 
the low res mouse. Change PTRRES=1 to PTRRES=0.

Now you can test MV by starting it with   gshell&   . Click on the X (menubar) 
and select Control. Play with the color selections.

Now compare booting from the MV nightly build and see how changing the colors work.

I really have no idea what is causing the change. We don't have source code for 
MV and the nightly build is not the same as the Tandy MV. Candidates are VTIO 
CoWin and any of the MV programs.
