C++ comment highlighting

[jhollowed]

C++ comments (lines starting with //) seem to be highlighted by default, rather than just colored. Is there a way to turn this off?

I see that I can be disabled by setting
let g:gruvbox_italic=0
Does this mean that the highlighting is only happening because the system doesn't support italicizing? On my local machine, I have the option turned on, and comments are italicized. I only see the highlighting when running vim on a remote machine via ssh.

It's a terminal specific issue... try setting your TERM environment variable to xterm-256color-italic or trying a different terminal emulator. Not sure how SSH impacts the terminal capabilities.
