How can I make vim highlight the current line on only the active buffer?

Question

I have set cursorline in my vimrc. Is there any way to make vim highlight only the current line in the active buffer instead of all buffers?

Answer 1

The problem with the BufEnter / BufLeave hooks used in Zsolt's answer is that they don't fire when moving to an adjacent window that displays the same buffer. I have used the following successfully:

augroup CursorLine
    au!
    au VimEnter,WinEnter,BufWinEnter * setlocal cursorline
    au WinLeave * setlocal nocursorline
augroup END
