indentLine visual quirk whilst incremental searching

[bluz71]

Hello,

A screenshot with the visual quirk (doing an incremental search):

Notice the block hole in the yellow highlight, that is an indentLine marker. Disable indentLine and the hole goes away.

Steps to reproduce:

• set incsearch
• set shiftwidth=2
• create a Ruby file Foo.rb with the following content:

class Foo
  def initialize
    value = 1 + 2
    puts "Initialize: #{value}"
  end
end

• Do a search for ^ value = 1 + 2\n p. Be aware, there are two lots of four spaces in this search, GitHub Markdown however is shrinking it to one (sigh).

Note also, the same type of quirk also exists with Neovim's upcoming highlight yanked text feature as seen here in this screenshot:

This screenshot is a yank operation, not a search; yank highlighting is only available with development versions of Neovim.

I suspect that conceal may not be configurable enough to solve these quirks? But it does not hurt to ask if this could be solved by the plugin. If not solvable, we will just have to live with it.

Many thanks.

I have shifted over to indent-blankline which uses Neovim's recent virtual-text-anywhere feature to render indent markers.

It does not suffer from this problem because it does not use conceal.

Hence, it is not worth going any further with this issue.

Best regards.
