[scrubmx]

I have the same issue:

• macOS Monterrey 12.4

• iTerm2 3.4.15

• zsh 5.8.1

• oh-my-zsh

• Plugin versions:

  • zsh-autosuggestions: v0.6.4
  • zsh-syntax-highlighting: 0.8.0-alpha2-dev

• Both plugins active plugins=(zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting)

• Only autosuggestions active plugins=(zsh-autosuggestions)

I'm also setting the color in my .zshrc file:

ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLE="fg=242"

Me too (on Alpine Linux, without OhMyZsh).

Same here :/

[DimitriGilbert]

I have an identical problem,
One thing though, if I connect to a server through ssh, highlight appears properly...

I have the very same behaviour as described by @DimitriGilbert
However, I observed this only after updating to Ubuntu 22.04. I wonder if there's a connection.

I was able to fix the issue by updating both autosuggestions and syntax-highlighting to their latest versions from GitHub (just cloned the repos).

[pawel-omniaz]

Yep, I can confirm - updating both plugins fixed it for me too on Mac OS :) Thanks! I thought those plugins are updated automatically by Oh My Zsh or something ;)

[DimitriGilbert]

same thing, and just like @pawel-omniaz , I didn't even think I was in charge of the update.

Had the same issue, removed plugins from ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/ and then re-installed them via

Syntax highlighting

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

Autosuggestions

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

[travcantcode]

this bug was driving me crazy and i was changing the autosuggest highlight style to so many different colours to test it out and i couldnt fix it properly until i followed @shotexa's instructions above.
my main issue was i had no idea where my old plugins were being installed to so after reinstalling them it was still pointing to the old ones that weren't patched.

just in case others somehow have it installed in another directory similar to mine even when running the default git clone commands, this was my path i did rm -rf with to remove them completely and to activate the source for zsh-syntax-highlighting with at the end of your .zshrc file.

source /Users/CHANGE_THIS_WITH_YOUR_USER/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh

This problem persists on Zsh 5.8.1 even with the latest revision of both plugins but is no longer present on Zsh 5.9.
