deleted symbol not showing

[davy79]

Hi,

I just noticed only "added" and "modified" signs show in the symbol column. The deleted sign does not show although the symbol column is added indicated by my line number column getting wider by 2 chars.

What is the latest commit SHA in your installed vim-gitgutter? 425c7cf2e21b3e9d13597ea1cf75d92a4180935a

not sure when this behavior started though...

What vim/nvim version are you on?

things I've tried:

let g:gitgutter_sign_removed = '--' let g:gitgutter_sign_removed_first_line = '--' highlight GitGutterDelete guifg=#ff2222

• Try adding let g:gitgutter_grep='' to your vimrc. If it works, the problem is grep producing non-plain output; e.g. ANSI escape codes or colours.
• Verify :echo system("git --version") succeeds.
• Verify your git config is compatible with the version of git returned by the command above.
• Verify your Vim supports signs (:echo has('signs') should give 1).
• Verify your file is being tracked by git and has unstaged changes.

any ideas how to fix this?

It sounds like the delete signs are being correctly placed, but you can verify there's a sign with the name GitGutterLineRemoved via:

:echo getbufinfo()[0].signs

I expect it's a colour problem, i.e. the foreground colour of the delete sign is the same as the background colour.

You can see the sign's definition like this:

:sign list GitGutterLineRemoved

It should include texthl=GitGutterDelete.

You can check the highlight group's colours with:

:highlight GitGutterDelete

When I execute :highlight GitGutterDelete guifg=#ff2222 (or any other rgb value for guifg) the sign changes colour immediately as expected.

Thanks for the feedback!

Indeed I confirmed GitGutterDelete is equal to my background color.

executing :highlight GitGutterDelete guifg=#ff2222 indeed changes the symbol color and it shows up...

putting it in the vimrc file does not help though... I apply the misbehaving theme as an after so it overwrites vimrc settings... so after I put the :highlight GitGutterDelete guifg=#ff2222 in my after script it works now...

Thanks again for the help! closing the issue
