Unless you made a very concerted effort to do so, there are likely some portinos of your .vimrc which don't work very well when they run a second time.

Perhaps your colorscheme itself doesn't work well when it runs a second time.

Perhaps you override the 'background' option in your .vimrc somewhere.

Perhaps you have autocmds left over from the last startup, that aren't being cleared out.

Perhaps there is a plugin interfering.

I think your best bet is the generic debug method:

1. Try without plugins, if problem goes away, binary search your plugins by removing half at a time and repeating to find the culprit.
2. Try without .vimrc. If problem goes away, binary search .vimrc by removing stuff or putting a "finish" about halfway through and repeating until you narrow down the problem line(s).
