[Bug]: bufferline custom area colors not refreshing

[Jackie Li]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

What happened?

I setup an custom area like so:

{
  options = {
    custom_areas = {
      left = function()
        local result = {}
        if vim.o.ft == 'vim' then
          table.insert(result, { text = 'VIM', link = 'BufferLineBufferSelected' })
        else
          table.insert(result, { text = 'Other', link = 'BufferLineBufferVisible'})
        end
        return result
      end
    },
  },
}

The texts are refreshing between 'VIM' and 'Other', but the highlights are not changing

What did you expect to happen?

the highlights change when switching between a vim file and other types of file

Config

{
  options = {
    custom_areas = {
      left = function()
        local result = {}
        if vim.o.ft == 'vim' then
          table.insert(result, { text = 'VIM', link = 'BufferLineBufferSelected' })
        else
          table.insert(result, { text = 'Other', link = 'BufferLineBufferVisible'})
        end
        return result
      end
    },
  },
}
