I made an issue on stack overflow (picture): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35491222/vim-in-windows-using-cmder-line-highlighting-on-scroll?noredirect=1#comment58676052_35491222

To summarize, I've tried using multiple installs of vim inside cmder and it always has some sort of highlighting bug. In contrast, using vim through Git Bash works as expected. I'm using Win7.

It has nothing to to with cmder/vim compatibility.

Cmder uses the windows command line subsystem by default which supports 16 colors. Most likely this is your issue. Git-bash outside cmder uses mintty which does support more than 16 colors.

The latest cmder master branch and 1.3 pre-release binary code allows you to run bash in mintty or using the windows command line subsystem. Using mintty in cmder will probably solve your issue.
