Clear highlight doesn't work

[edi9999]

• Neovim version: NVIM 0.1.5-dev
• Vim behaves differently Vim version: VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Apr 08 2016 11:38:28) Included patches: 1-1689
• Operating system/version: Xubuntu
• Terminal name/version: xfce4-terminal 0.6.3 (Xfce 4.12)
• $TERM: screen-256color

Actual behaviour

The statements still have syntax highlighting

Expected behaviour

The statements shouldn't have any more syntax highlighting

Steps to reproduce using nvim -u NORC

nvim -u NORC
:e codefile
:syntax on 
:hi Statement term=NONE cterm=NONE ctermfg=NONE ctermbg=NONE gui=NONE guifg=NONE guibg=NONE

See this screenshot: (Left is neovim, right is vim)

This makes the following colorscheme : https://github.com/robertmeta/nofrils colorful, where its main purpose is to remove most colors

If you revert d02cfe8 is it fixed?

@AdnoC what do you think?

[edi9999]

Indeed, reverting the d02cfe8 fixes it

[AdnoC]

Huh, I'l take a look at this. I only tested d02cfe8 with hi clear. I didn't think of manually clearing all the fields.

[AdnoC]

I didn't realize I needed to clear the sg_attr field of the highlight group if it was manually cleared. The pull request fixes it.

Works indeed, thanks !
