I'm seeing a very odd&  annoying highlighting anomaly.

In certain files (&  on occasion all files) certain words will be
highlighted in only orange&  grey. These words seem to be totally
arbitrary. For example, in, say, my .bashrc the words `usr`,
`dropbox`&  `storage1` will suffer. Or some single characters like
on my PS1 entry just the `d` `u`&  `h` but not the `t` or `w`.

This only happens on terminal vim on Linux&  doesn't occur in gvim
on Linux or terminal vim/MacVim on OS X.

I suspect it may have something to do with Gnome Terminal (it
happens in xterm&  terminator too). The problem disappears when vim
is started -u NONE. My vimrc is identical on all my machines
(Debian Linux&  Mac OS X).



As a follow up to this I've discovered the odd highlighting only
occurs when passing an argument to Vim i.e `vim .bashrc`

If I start Vim&  then edit the same file all is OK.
Well, I was thinking that perhaps your termtype database was incorrect, but that should affect :e .bashrc, too.

So, what's the filetype?

  vim .bashrc
  :echo &ft

Do files other than shell script files appear odd?

Does

  vim -u NONE .bashrc
  :set nocp
  :syn on

have odd highlighting?
