Affecting other colorschemes about neosolarized HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi, cbaumhardt, thanks for help.

Check for more infomation about this bug at altercation/solarized#102

If you change your colorscheme frequently, the vim-colorscheme-switcher plugin is highly recommended to avoid this issue.

Thanks for your quick answer. The interesting thing to me is that this bug seems to just happen with the solarized/NeoSolarized colorscheme. The problem does not happen if I use other true color schemes like tender or onedark. I wonder if this issue could simple be fixed by changing colors/NeoSolarized.vim to be more like colors/tender.vim. It seems logical to me that this would fix the issue.

Words like set and colorscheme in init.vim are identify as 'vimCommand' by $NVIMRUNTIME/syntax/vim.vim.

And words in group 'vimCommand' are highlighted same color as 'Statement' by hi def link vimCommand Statement.

Solarized specify a color(yellow) for the 'vimCommand' group, so their color are different with 'Statement' group.

Onedark or tender doesn't specify color for 'vimCommand' group, words in 'vimCommand' highlight group will render as nohighlight when you switch from solarized/NeoSolarized to onedark/tender/other-colorscheme.

As tpope said at altercation/solarized#102

From syntax/vim.vim:
hi def link vimCommand Statement
That means "unless vimCommand is already defined, link it to Statement" (see :help :hi-default). Solarized declares it to be yellow. When you switch away from Solarized, Vim resets all the highlighting. But when syntax/vim.vim is reapplied, vimCommand is already "tainted", so the highlight default no longer applies. Ergo, it's left cleared.
At least, that's my best understanding of it. Clearly it's an incomplete explanation as other groups appear fine.

Yes, this issue can fixed simply, just delete lines in vim syntax highlighting section in colors/NeoSolarized file. But it will lose color and I won't do that.

Thanks for clarification, I misunderstood something the first time I read the linked post. I am now using xolox/vim-colorscheme-switcher as you suggested and no longer experience any problems with NeoSolarized.
