Hi,

https://openqa.debian.net/tests/60553#step/_boot_to_debianinstaller/2
if you look closely in the highlighted box, you can just about see
"Graphical install" as a black font on dark_blue background, but it's
very close to invisible.
It should have an inverted background on the selected item, which then
makes the black text easily visible, as seen in the last working test,
https://openqa.debian.net/tests/59056#step/_boot_to_debianinstaller/1

Since the URLs from above are no longer valid, I'm attaching two screenshots
to show the issue (the first one from the last working 2022-06-07 image,
the second from today's installer image).

Oh -- There's supposed to be a setting that keeps old tests if they've
been refereed to from certain URLs (and I thought I'd set that to
include the BTS, and had made a point of doing such an access to tag the
build as a keeper) but it seems not to have worked.

I shall see what I can do to fix that...

Cheers, Phil.

- grub2 upstream has deleted support for grayscale PNGs. I don't
think this is coming back.
- the menu on the installer ISOs uses a grayscale image to highlight
the currently selected menu entry. As demonstrated in the bug
report, this is now broken.
While technically grub2 broke this, I'd think the way forward is for
debian-cd to convert the highlight PNGs to non-grayscale.

Steve (thanks!) fixed this with
