2.4.1, you mean.  :)

Trying to revert to the original Apple version is the first thing
I would try.  Then you'll maybe remember why you upgraded.  :)

The original version is maybe even still there.  Type 'type -a nano'
and see what it says.  If you have three nanos, and the first is
/usr/local/bin/nano, then the other two are most likely the originally
installed version.

If the original version behaves the way you want, backgroundwise,
then compile and run 2.3.2 and 2.3.3, and see how each of those
behaves.  (You don't have to install them; you can run them in
their source tree with 'src/nano'.)  Then please report back.

What is your default background colour for the terminal?
