There is this issue with the COLORFGBG environment variable: when it is set[1], for example, in my case, COLORFGBG="7;0", the colorscheme in MacVim (mvim) is messed up, apparently because the vim background setting is overridden.
In order to fix this thing, I have to interactively change the colorscheme TWICE. (note that it doesn't work just putting two consecutive 'colorscheme default' in vimrc or just overriding the background var in vimrc (or both). [1]: this usecase happens in practice when using iTerm2 instead of Terminal.app. In iTerm2, COLORFGBG is set in order to inform vim about the background. But it seems to mess things up for mvim. Check also this bugreport http://code.google.com/p/iterm2/issues/detail?id=2345 I think now it's clear it's not a iTerm2 issue, since the root cause has been isolated to be the setting of the COLORFGBG env var. I think it is possible to reproduce this thing by just launching mvim in iTerm2, or COLORFGBG=7;0 mvim in any terminal (didn't check). software version: OSX 10.7.5 iTerm 1.0.0.20130122 MacVim 66 -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
