I'm running neovim from a uxterm on arch linux with the solarized color scheme.

The issue is that on scrolling only the characters which are non-whitespace are displaying the correct background. error screen

This fixes itself on any redraw of the screen - resizing, etc. However scrolling doesn't fix it (I actually produced this image by getting it to display correctly and the scrolled up).

Another issue is that when I close vim the bash terminal's background is white apart from where text is. This issue resolves itself when the background is redrawn - eg switching workspaces in i3.

My .vimrc " Plugins will be downloaded under the specified directory. call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')

" Declare the list of plugins.

" List ends here. Plugins become visible to Vim after this call.
call plug#end()

  • what terminal is this? Commented Aug 16, 2018 at 12:47
  • @ChristianBrabandt it is just a standard bash terminal

  • I believe @ChristianBrabandt was asking which terminal emulator you are using (and, arguably, which terminal standard it’s emulating). For example, I use Terminal.app on macOS and Gnome terminal on Ubuntu, both of which are set to emulate an xterm-256color.

    Depends on the OS, terminal, etc. Google might help, but so would the terminal settings screen and the sequence of steps you take to launch such a terminal.

    Well, try a different terminal first. I believe neovim had some problems with the BCE (background color erase) setting of terminals, but this should have been fixed (see PR 8806). So might try with current master version of Neovim plus a different terminal emulator. If the problem persists in uxterm, you should most likely open an issue with the Neovim devs Commented Aug 16, 2018 at 17:49
