Thanks for the prompt reply Tim. Changing 'linespace' didn't seem to help at all, and I don't really want to change the font. I also don't want to remove the text decoration; I like my syntax highlighting as it is.
Control-L worked perfectly though; I've just added 'redraw!' to my WinEnter au and all is well with the world again. Thanks for the tip!
