What if you edit another filetype? Do you see syntax highlighting in C
code for example, or does Vim disable syntax highlighting regardless
of the filetype of the file being edited from the command line?
Are there any modelines in your .bashrc? See :help modeline for what
these look like if you aren't familiar with them.
Does the highlighting also go away if you manually :edit ~/.bashrc
after launching Vim? Or just when you edit the file from the command
line? (I don't think this should matter, but I've only been using Vim
for a couple of years and there might be some case I don't know about
where this makes a difference).
