So this all works as intended. Obviously a bad choice of terminal emulation will lead to ugly rendering. I *assume* the original reporter also had a weird combination of the TERM variable and terminal application and that led to only highlighted lines rendering readably. It is not possible for htop to render correctly in all cases where people have broken terminfo, esp. people sshing from Macs etc.
