Vim cursorline cuts out on some keywords

[jorgeluiscarrillo]

Environment:

• Fedora 32
• NeoVim (v0.4.4)
• Alacritty

If you have a trouble with coloration and are using Vim/Neovim with terminal:

• Does your Vim support full colors? (:set termguicolors)
• Does your terminal support full colors? (e.g. Terminal.app doesn't support it)

As shown in the gif, the cursorline goes invisible on certain keywords. Is this intended? If it is, is there any workaround to prevent it from cutting out.

That is not intended behavior. Does the same problem occur on the other terminal app?

I tried with xfce4-terminal and experienced the same issue. I think that it seems to only occur on .vim files. I just opened the code for iceberg.vim and can reproduce it there whenever let is used.

• Could you share the .vim file in the screenshot? I'd like to check it in my environment.
• Do you use any extra plugins for .vim? (syntax, linting, LSP, ...etc.) If you disable all of other plugins, does the problem still occur? Anyway, sharing list of plugins would help me to reproduce the issue.

I did a bit more research and I believe this might be a NeoVim issue neovim/neovim#9019. A few other themes have the same problem.

Reproduced the same issue in Neovim, and works fine in Vim. It seems to be caused by Neovim issue as you said.

Neovim:

:version
NVIM v0.5.0-nightly

Vim:

:version
VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2 (2019 Dec 12, compiled May 19 2020 22:09:59)
macOS version
Included patches: 1-800

This problem should be fixed by Neovim. Let's wait for the future release...
