Red/green diff highlighting in gitcommit message goes away after saving buffer

[danielyli]

After editing a commit message and saving but not exiting the buffer (:w instead of :x), the red and green diff below the message stops being colored.

There's a lot that could be going wrong, but my first suggestion would be to try a different color scheme. The fact you have actual red and green suggests it's doing something special for diffs.

[danielyli]

Gotcha. I'll check it out and append to this issue if it's not a color scheme problem.

I have a similar issue.
Without any edits, just when I do :Gstatus it looks like this (no green and red):

Checked on solarized theme: works fine. Seems it’s the problem in seoul256 theme which I’m using.

Your screenshot is the intended effect. Solarized insists on completely jacking it up for whatever reason.

Assuming this is a color scheme issue. We're not doing anything unusual with respect to diff highlighting.
