It's OK for me to ignore the insufficient contrast introduced by more
supported color modes but please note that this bug report was initially
about a wrong color scheme.

 I agree that the contrast is bad, but there's only so much you can do
 with the limited color set available in a terminal.  More syntax

It applies not to the initial problem.
If you have a patch and want to see this in Etch I could provide a
German translation update if necessary to bypass the freeze :-)

Since these stupid color schemes make vimdiff nearly unusable I increase
the severity of this bug to normal. Please try to fix it for Etch.

Maybe you can just reuse the old files? Manual setting :colorscheme has
no positive effect. All styles (not only the default one) are unusable!

This depends on the colorscheme.  The default colorscheme does make
Comment that are part of a DiffAdd hard to read.  Although, in my case
it was because the 'background' option was set to 'light' when I had a
dark background on my terminal.  Setting 'background' to 'dark' fixed
the problem.

 Indeed, using :set background=dark (in a bright *and* dark terminal)
 improves the situation. Please note that I tried all colorschemes also
 in an inversed terminal (but without background=dark).

I agree that the contrast is bad, but there's only so much you can do
with the limited color set available in a terminal.  More syntax
elements were introduced in vim7 so it's harder to avoid less-than-ideal
highlighting scenarios.

I'm tagging this as wontfix since there's not much to do about it even
though I agree that it can be problematic.

The contrast can be calculated as described in
http://www.w3.org/TR/AERT#color-contrast (the RGB color space in not
optimal).

Bug#379839: vim: Bogus color schema

2006-07-25 Thread Jens Seidel
Package: vim
Version: 1:7.0-035+1
Severity: minor

Hi, I noticed that the default color schema of vimdiff is wrong, since
added lines in one of the files are not visible because foreground and
background color are identical.

Try for example to open the attached files in vimdiff.

I also have to confess that this color schema (and various other I
tried) is worse since the last updates a few days ago. There are nearly
no contrasts it vimdiff.
