I got a weird vim interface, please take a look at the following image:
How can I remove those red blocks? It's not highlighted search.
What I did is switch from Gentoo to Arch, my ~/.vimrc remain unchanged.
Many thanks!

Is this the default color scheme or did you add it manually? – emboss Aug 19 '11 at 00:17

1command `colorscheme' in vim returns 'default' – daisy Aug 19 '11 at 00:50

And changing to other scheme doesn't help – daisy Aug 19 '11 at 00:51

Looks like you've got spell-checking enabled.
:set nospell
If you want to find who set 'spell' (it's off by default), use:
:verbose set spell?

`bashrc` would likely be highlighted if this were spellchecking. – dash-tom-bang Aug 19 '11 at 02:17

@dash-tom-bang: Likely, yes. `:verbose set spell?` will tell for definite! – johnsyweb Aug 19 '11 at 02:38

: – johnsyweb Aug 19 '11 at 10:20set spell! spell? ` in my `.vimrc`, sometimes it's really handy to be able to toggle this feature. -
@Johnsyweb: i use: if has('gui_running') , which only enables spell check in gVIM , normally i don't use a graphical vim interface , but i'll setup a shortcut for it , thanks ! – daisy Aug 19 '11 at 14:48

There's a syntax file that has those strings in it, telling the colorscheme to color them in some special way. The colorscheme defines that special way to be utterly hideous. :)
If you want that text highlighted, just differently, you'll need to edit your colorscheme. If you don't want that text highlighted, you need to remove them from the syntax definition.
Unfortunately I don't know much about that stuff as I'm mostly happy with the defaults on Windows...
