[Bug] Highlights of the words marked as differences are not automatically shown at once

[pidgeon777]

Comparing two simple text files, this is what I obtain:

Instead, I would have expected the same result reported in the plugin readme. This means, all of the words marked as different should be highlighted.

But, when navigating between the changed words through the hotkey, then the highlight is shown, but only for the word where the cursor is placed:

I would like the plugin to display all of the words marked as differences between the two files being used as diff.

How could this be achieved? Is this a bug in the plugin?

I'm using the latest stable version of Neovim (0.8.0), the newest version of this plugin on Windows 10 Pro.

Best regards

Thank you for asking. I can not reproduce in my Windows 10. Which colorschme you are using? And let me know ':set' output.

I found that 'DiffText' is linked to 'DiffChange' in this colorschme. That means changed units and that line are colored with the same highlight, so those units are not be visible, Please try another colorschme, such as 'default', with your ':set'.

You are right, the culprit seems to be github-nvim-theme.

I'll ask the theme author to also add compatibility with your plugin.
