Ubuntu 17.04 vim colors
I just installed Ubuntu 17.04. After setting up vim I noticed my colors are wrong. Here's what I mean:
You can see that system background is showing through the vim background in places where there is no text.
What I've tried
I've made sure that my vimrc has set t_Co=256 in it. Also as you can see in the above image my bashrc has force_color_prompt=yes. I've also added bg=dark to my vimrc. For the curious the ouput of echo $TERM is xterm-256color. I've made sure to source both of those files and tried restarting the terminal.
It seems as if there is a problem with 256 color support in gnome-terminal for Ubuntu 17.04.
Is this a problem for anyone else? Has anyone solved it?

While you are in your terminal tab.
Go the the window settings and select the "Edit" menu. In that there is a "Profile Preferences".
Now select the "Colors" and adjust your transperancy or unselect it.
