Highlighting of patches offers insufficient contrast

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

With vim 2:9.0.2189-1ubuntu1 the coloring of patches has been changed.

The result is that in konsole patches have become illegible. See appendix.

Deleted lines have foreground cyan #18b2b2 and background light blue #7f7fff. Kind of blue on blue.

Please, provide sane color defaults. The previous release used bright white on black for deleted lines.

[Heinrich Schuchardt (xypron)]

Of course a user can write 'colorscheme lunaperche' or alike to his .vimrc. But it still makes sense to start with something readable.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Simon Quigley (tsimonq2)]

Is there any terminal in which the default is actually readable?

[Aaron Rainbolt (arraybolt3)]

Can confirm this looks awful in Konsole and even more awful in Konsole+tmux.

I will test this first in Debian, upload it there, then do a merge.

This bug was fixed in the package vim - 2:9.1.0016-1ubuntu2
