Terminal Window Highlight Bug

[fsiraj]

The first time a terminal buffer is created, the window normal is not set as shown below. I narrowed it down to this snippet in switch_buf. The call to jobstart in convert_buf2term seems to overwrite the winhl set earlier, but setting it again right after (commented out) fixes the issue. This only happens the first time a terminal is opened, but the fix seems simple enough.

    if vim.bo[buf].buftype ~= "terminal" then
      M.convert_buf2term(details[1].cmd)
      -- vim.wo[state.win].winhl = "Normal:exdarkbg,floatBorder:exdarkborder"

Notice how the first time terminal buffer is a lighter color than it's supposed to be. The color is fixed once I switch to the terminal buffer then toggle floaterm off and on.

don't use floaterm on dashboard! try without it once

It’s the same elsewhere, like I said the cause is the winhl being cleared when the buffer is converted to a terminal. Setting it anywhere after the call to jobstart fixes it.

try on a normal buffer, not dashboard
