As a consequence the new MatchParen highlight that is enabled

I need to put the following in my ~/.vimrc to fix it:
highlight MatchParen ctermbg=blue guibg=blue
Shouldn't the above be done automatically when one does set bg=dark ?
This depends on the color scheme you are using. If the maintainer
does not update his color scheme, a default value is chosen.
Sure. I use the default colour scheme though.
I would have expected it to be updated for this new feature.
thanks,
Pádraig.
The "default" colorscheme mentions no groups, it merely orders Vim to
reset all groups whatsoever to their built-in defaults, so there is no
need to update it. It's when you want to set _different_ colors than the
built-in defaults that a ":hi" line is needed in the colorscheme. It is
even possible to leave different groups at their default values
depending on whether you run in the GUI or in a console: for instance:
hi MatchParen ctermbg=blue
hi Search gui=NONE guibg=Yellow guifg=Black
leaves MatchParen at its default in the GUI, and Search at its default
in console Vim.
Best regards,
Tony.
