When I do this I get a popup with the options in it but there is no
highlighting.  The arrow keys change the selection because when an
option is selected it is reflected in the options screen.

This can actually be seen outside window too, if TERM in an xterm is set to
vt100 (thus disabling colour support) then the highlighting is absent in
the popup.  If colour is available then the popup highlighting works.

Digging into the curses debug it looks like the characters are being
added without the correct attribute rather than the refresh code somehow
missing the highlight.
