My problem is that when I open a file (here a .c file), everything after the last character of a line is highlighted in yellow. This has a weird behavior though because it doesn't happen on the first page (ie landing after opening a file) and it goes away if the scroll bar is on the line. In addition, if I scroll up or down with the mouse wheel, the yellow highlight comes back.

Edit: After investigation it seems to be the theme I am using that's causing the issue. Though this doesn't happen on other Ubuntu terminals, might be WSL's fault. After installing a different theme I notice that the same issue arises only with different colors.

    Hello @Ge0rges, welcome to Vi and Vim! Would you mind editing your question to (1) include the screenshot, vimrc, and test file in the question—shorten them, if necessary—and (2) break up the version output—it's all on one line at the moment?

    In the meantime, I've seen a few questions like this before, but I can't find the exact ones I'm looking for

    @DBenKnoble Yeah this comes up from time to time... Some of it in SO or Superuser.SE, I think none of them has a good answer to the problem... I guess it's most probably related to the terminal, but it's hard to get all the details needed to reproduce the issue.

    @D.BenKnoble done. I have an issue with the terminal where it removes newlines, so not possible to fix sample file. Replaced the rest with images.
