word_diff bg highlight overridden by linehl bg

[tarkah]

Description

If linehl groups (AddLn, ChangeLn, DeleteLn) have a bg assigned to them, it prevents the bg of a word_diff highlight group (AddLnInline, ChangeLnInline, DeleteLnInline) from showing up.

Neovim version

NVIM v0.8.2 Build type: Release LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3 Compiled by _nixbld0 Features: +acl +iconv +tui See ":help feature-compile"

Operating system and version

Linux & Darwin

Expected behavior

Word diff highlight groups should have a higher priority since they highlight within the line

Actual behavior

The word_diff highlight bg disappears when linehl is enabled and it's highlights have a bg color

Relevant HL groups in demo:

:hi GitSignsChangeLn | hi GitSignsAddLnInline | hi GitSignsChangeLnInline
GitSignsChangeLn xxx guibg=#3b4252
GitSignsAddLnInline xxx guibg=#a3be8c
GitSignsChangeLnInline xxx guibg=#ebcb8b

See below:

Minimal config

vim.o.packpath = '/tmp/nvim/site'

local plugins = {
  gitsigns = 'https://github.com/lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim',
  -- ADD OTHER PLUGINS _NECESSARY_ TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE
}

for name, url in pairs(plugins) do
  local install_path = '/tmp/nvim/site/pack/test/start/'..name
  if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
    vim.fn.system { 'git', 'clone', '--depth=1', url, install_path }
  end
end

require('gitsigns').setup{
  debug_mode = true, -- You must add this to enable debug messages
  linehl = true,
  numhl = true,
  word_diff = true,
}

Steps to reproduce

1. Add a bg color to the linehl highlight groups
2. Add a bg color the word_diff highlight groups
3. Enable word_diff and see the proper coloring
4. Enable linehl and see the word_diff coloring dissapear
