As this cause trouble with colorschemes (see bug #951440), I'm undoing both changes again.
Undoing only the change to /etc/vim/gvimrc isn't enough as people would get background=dark in gvim if they don't use a colorscheme which changes their background colour (or a colorscheme at all) and as gvim uses a light background by default it results in hard to read colours (e.g. yellow on white). As I don't see currently a good solution on how to fix it, I'm re- opening this bug again and setting it to "Opinion". ** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871907 Title: vim should have "set bg=dark" by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/871907/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
