Vim with pathogen and solarized color scheme

Question

This is my screen of vim editor with pathogen and solarized color scheme.You can notice a dark line in the center.

What is the purpose of this line? When I try to do a split window using sp it splits the windown horizontally.

I don't want this line to appear on my screen? Is there a purpose to it?It would be great if someone could tell me what is causing this?

Answer 1

You might have colorcolumn set up in your .vimrc. Do you see anything similar to the following lines in your .vimrc. If yes, you can comment them out and verify if you still that line.

set colorcolumn=
hi ColorColumn guibg=#2d2d2d ctermbg=246
