VISUAL selection appearance

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a file (FOO) in vim
2. Make a visual selection (appearance A)
3. Open another file (BAR) in any of
   - another tmux pane
   - a new term window
   - gvim
4. Make a visual selection in the other file

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The visual selection appearance in FOO will change (appearance B). The visual 
selection appearance in BAR will be the same as in FOO in step 1 above.

You should be able to switch between the FOO and BAR instances of vim, change 
the visual selection and the appearances should swap.

As I see it, appearance A is wrong, and appearance B is the one dictated in 
whatever colorscheme you may be using.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
gvim/vim 7.3.918-2
3.9.4-1-ARCH

Please provide any additional information below.
- t_Co=256 without setting it
- independent of colorscheme/syntax (zenburn, molokai, builtins, none)
- independent of terminfo (screen-256color, xterm, xterm-termite)
- independent of terminal (termite, urxvt, gnome-terminal)
- gvim does not suffer from this issue, it always has the 'correct' appearance
- reproducible with no .vimrc or .gvimrc

I think what you are seeing is described briefly below :h VisualNOS
This is actually a feature, so closing this issue.
