I also found visually-selected text to be impossible to read
with vim-7.0b. I had also been using vim-6.4. I was about to
submit a bug report when I realized that ever since I started using
vim with a 16-color xterm, with white text on a black background, I
had left 'background' set to "light". At this point, fixing that
won't be easy, so I worked around it for now by adding this to my
~/.vimrc:
if v:version >= 700
highlight clear Visual
highlight Visual term=reverse cterm=reverse gui=reverse guifg=Grey
guibg=fg
endif
I just copied the vim-6.4 highlight values by running vim-6.4,
executing ":hi", and copying the Visual row into my ~/.vimrc,
followed by a little editing.
