Re: custom highlighting no longer works

Hi,

Using debian/testing I've long had this in my ~/.vimrc

        au!
        if has("syntax")
                let mysyntaxfile = "~/.vim/syntax.vim"
                let myscriptsfile = "~/.vim/scripts.vim"
                let myfiletypefile = "~/.vim/filetype.vim"
                syntax on
        endif

and ~/.vim/syntax.vim contains only:

        hi Comment term=bold ctermfg=6 guifg=DarkCyan
        hi Identifier term=underline ctermfg=4 guifg=Blue

Now this highlighting no longer works with debian's 2:7.4.826-1 but
works with 2:7.4.488-7 (826 and 488 being the patchlevels).

Any idea if this is a bug or a configuration change?

Maybe it is caused by t_RV or t_RB feature.
Try adding the following settings to your vimrc for workaround.

  :set t_RV= t_RB=
    or
  :set t_Co=256 background=dark    " set your terminal value explicitly

At startup, Vim inquires of terminal number of colors and background color.
When Vim received the response, Vim sets 't_Co' and 'background'.  Then Vim
re-load syntax/{g:colors_name}.vim or syntax/syncolor.vim.  But Vim doesn't
re-load mysyntaxfile.

I'm not sure if this is bug or not.
