Research direction
First, locate the 'ne' package recipe in the termux packages repository (likely under packages/ne). Build and install the package in a Termux environment to reproduce the white shadow issue. Examine the ne source code, focusing on menu rendering functions that use ncurses. Check if there are any existing patches or discussions in the repository comments (the issue has one comment). The fix may involve adjusting color pairs or clearing screen areas properly.
