elygeo created an issue (vim/vim#19720)

When .vimrc contains the line:

set background=dark

Starting vim displays "pp" instead of an empty buffer.
This behavior is present in vim 9.2.150, but not in 9.2.100
Homebrew on macOS.

Can you use git bisect to find the exact commit or a smaller range? Thanks.

I just tried compiling from source and it appears to be fixed in the latest patch 9.2.0173.
Sorry for the noise.
