No highlighting or underline for spell check after awesome vimrc install

[majamin]

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Desktop (18.04), installed awesome vimrc as per instructions and everything works as expected, except when I spell check using <leader>ss, then moving through unrecognized words using <leader>sn or ]s.

It moves to misspelled words, but no highlighting or underlining of words appears on screen. Is this the expected behaviour? If so, is there a way to turn it this back on?

Also, this is my first "issue" submission, so if this is not the venue for these types of queries, please let me know.

This isn't something I can reproduce, @majamin. You can try to run it in another environment or try with another color scheme.

I see the same problem. A related issue is #418. It seems to be a problem of the default color scheme peaksea.vim

The reason is listed in the changelog of peaksea, v3.3: https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=760

Anton Sharnov thinks it is better to leave the foreground color as is for spell error in 256-color cterm. If you agree this, the version 3.3 is for you, else you can just edit the source.

I have hence created a fork to re-enable the colors. See if it helps!
