This is only really noticeable in the SMZX palette editor added in 2.91, but the bug technically exists back to 2.90. When force_bpp=8 is set for any 8bpp-compatible renderer using render_layer (currently only "software") the SMZX palette cursors will be surrounded by magenta boxes instead of showing the palette colors. This appears to be because protected colors are truncated in render_layer_code.h before any tcol checks can occur (line 368).

This isn't really a high priority bug to fix since 8bpp has almost no use cases (very slow on modern computers compared to 32bpp), 8bpp+SMZX has unfixable protected palette issues anyway, we don't make SDL Wii builds anymore, and the PSP (the only other SDL console port that allows 8bpp right now) ships with the editor disabled by default.

Still, it looks really tacky and theoretically an SMZX palette could be designed around making the UI look bearable in 8bpp (and the SMZX_MESSAGE feature actually encourages this to a degree).
