I always run commands in "dark" terminal, and doing ssh from (sufficiently new) box to RHEL 7 box causes, that running 'vim' on RHEL7 still thinks that the background color is "light". With Fedora this works fine. There is defined terminal protocol so vim is able to communicate the background color with terminal (be that local or remote terminal over ssh). Upstream (and Fedora) vim has this already implemented, and it would be nice to have this backported into RHEL7: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/f71d7b9ee5ceba75f70c30845332ddd728fd16c6 Also have a look at bug 1159920. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1262837 +++
I'm sorry, I've posted wrong patch link, this should be correct: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/b5c3265521749fda81ae4b052de35a0d1209cf50
Ping. Being 2018 now, administrators are going to take care of RHEL7 boxes for a very long time; so fixing this still makes sense IMO. It would make the work with remote RHEL7 boxes much more convenient *by default* (for administrators with dark terminal).
I've just tested 7.4.629-2.el7.x86_64, and it works perfectly, thank you.
(In reply to Pavel Raiskup from comment #13) > I've just tested 7.4.629-2.el7.x86_64, and it works perfectly, thank you. Yes, vim-7.4.629-2.el7 works as expected. Good job. Thank both of you!
