vim sometimes hiding 0 qnd 00

[Michael D Berger]

With recently installed CentOS 7.6 and xfce,

using vim to edit .dircolors, with vim colors enabled, I discovered on the
line 

 

   DIR 01:36   # directory

 

if I change the 01 to 0 or 00 , (but not 000) zeros disappears. If I search
for 00, it is found.

This happens for other, but not all lines. I could prevent this with 

 

   syntax off

 

but then I lose the colors, which are helpful.
How can I prevent anything from disappearing like this without losing the
colors?



This problem does not occur using the same vim at level 3, but there I have
fewer colors.

 

Thanks,
Mike.
