It is set.

If I do "set:", I get (among other things):

syntax=sh  filetype=sh

So, what matters is indeed set.

I noticed that the highlighting is different from my user than from root.

I renamed .vim and .vimrc, but still the highlighting is different.

So something is amiss, and I don't know what it is.

But for the purpose of the same problem, both show messed up highlighting.

Here is the sample script, with messed up colors inside parens

#!/bin/sh

GLOBAL=hello

func() {
  LOCAL=hi
  echo $GLOBAL
  echo This goes to stdout
  echo This goes to sterr >&2
}

# This is a first comment, correct comment color
(
  LOCAL=hi
  # This is a comment, messed up color
  echo $GLOBAL
  echo This goes to stdout
  echo This goes to sterr >&2
) > /tmp/k 2>&1

(
  # This is a comment, messed up color (same color as the
  # left paren above it, and not the same color of the
  # first comment
  echo $LOCAL
  func
) > /tmp/k 2>&1
