Colorcolumn goes on top of the colored css about vim-css-color

[ap]

I don’t think cursorcolumn is the problem, but I’d like to test my hypothesis.

Can you redo the screenshot – exactly the same except with :set nocursorcolumn?

its colorcolumn
cursorcolumn doesn't do anything afaik - returns an error when i do the set command

here it is with set colorcolumn=0

Ah. I see now that you wrote colorcolumn in the title of this issue, which I wasn’t aware existed. I misread that as cursorcolumn because that most definitely does something. (Not sure what sort of weird Vim configuration you have that trying to set it gives you an error – your Vim is clearly not compiled without the +syntax feature…)

That second screenshot doesn’t help – I asked for exactly the same screenshot, only with that setting changed, i.e. the same combination of cursor placement, color value, highlighting, etc. – ideally the same file and cursor position.

Such a screenshot would look exactly the same -- here it is anyway:

Here's a video of cursorcolumn values on and off with the cursor going to that exact position of that file:

colorcolumn is still on

Here's an image of cursorcolumn over the hex color:

So this one works.

I think I understand the problem, i.e. it’s probably just the same as cursorline and cursorcolumn, where Vim forcibly combines the overlay highlight with the syntax highlight and gives priority to the overlay. I don’t know if it can be fixed – note how I have support for cursorline in the plugin, but not for cursorcolumn. That’s for a reason… But I’ll see if I can think of something.

Which colorscheme is that, btw? (I don’t get this problem with my own colorschemes, and I don’t want to have to keep asking you for screenshots…)

The colorscheme is solarized light

set background=light
silent! colorscheme solarized

not plugin issue, this is a vim issue
