I can seem to figure out why this is happening. This only happens in normal mode, when in insert mode the highlighting stops. I have set the syntax highlighting off but to no avail. I am a novice vim user, so my apologies if it's something obvious. Thanks in advance.vimrc segments:Indent settings  set softtabstop=4   set shiftwidth=4  set smarttab  set expandtab  set autoindent   set smartindent  set cindent  colorschemecolorscheme hybrid_material  set background=dark  syntax enable  
Why is there strange syntax highlighting even when syntax is off?
