After a goblin has become visible (I got a message saying to protect the children or some such) and my dwarves are in the middle of fighting him.

However, he only shows up as a solid brown square. (maybe it is because he is a brown G and he is knocked down?)

Are goblin snatchers brown g's?  I thought they were dark gray.  In any case, it usually does a check and changed the brightness bit or makes the foreground black, depending on the context.  I'll look into it.

I am not sure what color they are.
But on two occasions they showed up as a solid brown square. I looked pretty closely too just to make sure it was not a very similar color. One of the time somebody else was in the square with them, and they were blinking, they dwarf, and the solid brown square. and the other time I am not 100% sure if somebody was in the square, but I think there was.

Ok.

It seems that things jumping out of the shadows show up as a solid brown square alternating with a blinking light blue X.

I guess this is when they are the subject of a message currently being shown?

Then after the message goes away, they are a solid brown square.
I am pretty sure that this did not occur in the previous versions

If you want, I will send you a save with a large rat as a solid square

Yeah, I don't see why it's happening immediately.  It might be fastest to take a look at the rat save.  Both goblin snatchers (I think) and large rats are dark gray, and dark gray on a brown background is the hardest for me to make out personally.  If it's not that, then go ahead and send it in.

Cyan X is just a brief stun.
