Visual mode is blocking out the highlighted text

[znre]

Hey, I'm using nord theme for xfce terminal as well as for vim, when I'm using visual mode, the highlighted text are blocked out.

I was wondering if you have any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you!

This is my entire .vimrc if it helps:

let data_dir = has('nvim') ? stdpath('data') . '/site' : '~/.vim'
if empty(glob(data_dir . '/autoload/plug.vim'))
  silent execute '!curl -fLo '.data_dir.'/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim'
  autocmd VimEnter * PlugInstall --sync | source $MYVIMRC
endif

call plug#begin()
Plug 'itchyny/lightline.vim'
Plug 'arcticicestudio/nord-vim'
Plug 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
Plug 'tmux-plugins/vim-tmux'
call plug#end()

endfunction

let g:lightline.tabline = {
    \ 'colorscheme': 'nord',
            \ 'left': [ [ 'tabs' ] ],
            \ 'right': [ [ 'close'] ] }
 
colorscheme nord

Fixed with this PR:

I also ran into the same issue. Until the PR gets merged, I was able to fix it with a workaround, by setting the Visual mode's foreground color manually after loading the theme (the fix does the same through the nord plugin).

# .vimrc

colorscheme nord
