Syntax highlighting cursor misaligned on HyperTerm Windows

[ridhwaans]

Using:
zsh 5.4.2 (x86_64-ubuntu-linux-gnu)
antigen (latest)
hyperterm 3.0.2 on WSL (Windows10)
hyperterm theme: hyper-solarized-dark

.vimrc snippet:

syntax enable
...
set background=dark
colorscheme solarized

The syntax highlighting is inverse on the cursor line and the rest of the lines in file

How do you fix the colors to render correctly on every line in the file? I'm guessing the issue is the terminal emulator or some missing vimrc setting
