Well, the prompt that is displayed directly after "man bash" exits 
exhibits the hightlighted colors (only seems to happen for that 
particular man page). If I issue the command stty sane, or any other 
command, or simply press enter the next prompt doesn't exhibit any 
highlighted colors but is shown as normal See the picture I posted.
