Visible Lines/Underscores on Vim

Question

I have these lines or underscores I am trying to remove on vim text editor:

The horizontal lines disappear when there is some text or code on a line.

Please let me know if you came across this before! Thanks.

Here is my .vimrc:

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
" The default plugin directory will be as follows:
"   - Vim (Linux/macOS): '~/.vim/plugged'
"   - Vim (Windows): '~/vimfiles/plugged'
"   - Neovim (Linux/macOS/Windows): stdpath('data') . '/plugged'
" You can specify a custom plugin directory by passing it as the argument
"   - e.g. `call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')`
"   - Avoid using standard Vim directory names like 'plugin'

" Make sure you use single quotes

I have been trying to customize my vim text editor. I also have tried to install plugins for different themes. I tried using tree-sitter as well but that is not really working for me right now.

Answer 1

seems like the line colorscheme dawn was the one causing this issue.

i have contacted the theme creator and posted the issue on the github repository that i got it from. thanks guys!
