Spelling mistakes on current line not highlighted with cursorline

[MaxG87]

I am using set cursorline and setlocal spell. When there is a spell error somewhere, it is nicely highlighted. Unfortunately if a spelling error is on the same line as the cursor, the line is indistinguishable from normal lines.

I suspect this issue is closely related to #112.

Weird, I cannot reproduce this with vim and neovim.

" vim -u test.vim test.txt
set nocompatible

if empty(glob('~/.config/nvim/autoload/plug.vim'))
  silent !curl -fLo ~/.config/nvim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs
    \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
  autocmd VimEnter * PlugInstall | source $MYVIMRC
endif

call plug#begin('~/.config/nvim/plugged/')
Plug 'NLKNguyen/papercolor-theme'
call plug#end()

colorscheme PaperColor
set background=light

set spell
set cursorline

@MaxG87 Can you please provide a sample vimrc to reproduce this?

[MaxG87]

The error reported here does not appear with NeoVim for me neither. Weirdly, your minimal .vimrc is sufficient to reproduce for me. I also tried gvim -u test.vim test.txt with that minimal .vimrc and the error appears just like in the terminal version. If I change set background=light to set background=dark the error persists. If I drop the line, I keep the light variant, again with the error.

Thus I think I should give more information about my system.

I use Ubuntu 19.10.

Maybe it's fixed in vim 8.2?

[MaxG87]

On my machine with Debian Testing (VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2 (2019 Dec 12 kompiliert am Mar 24 2020 03:21:40)) the highlighting works correctly too.

It might be that the reported error does not occur in Vim 8.2 and NeoVim. However, the reported behaviour does not occur in Vim 8.1 with other colour schemes, e.g. gruvbox.
