The problem in with the blue bits in WJed has been there for some time and
I don't think it is related to the modeline problem. I did post a fix for
it but for some reason it didn't get incorporated into the source.

The fix is at line 84 in wterm.c, where there are two alternative
definitions for CURRENT_BG_COLOR, one of which is commented out:

/* #define CURRENT_BG_COLOR JColors[JNORMAL_COLOR].hbrBG */
#define CURRENT_BG_COLOR This_Window.current_color->hbrBG

If you swap them round so that the second one is commented and the first
one uncommented then the blue updates should go away (at least it does for
me, building with either Borland C v5 or OpenWatcom C).
