Hmm. IIRC, I also refrain from setting the bg on my Normal highlight
group in the cterm (not gui). Maybe that's relevant. I somewhat doubt
it.
I did somehow get this working, though. I think for me the problem was
the 'Title' highlight which is used in the tabline as well as in message
output, so sometimes needed different background colours. Yes. Just
checked it out, and it's working fine.
Let me try a statusline.... Yep. It doesn't work as I would expect.
But...I can get it to do what I want, by explicitly setting the User1
highlight bg to the same as the StatusLine bg, and Vim automatically
readjusts it in line with this comment from the help:
"The difference between User{N} and StatusLine will be applied
to StatusLineNC for the statusline of non-current windows."
How confusing.
I guess it's a buglet.
Ben.
