bug#10067: 23.3; Inverse-video on cursor does not work in Cocoa

Thanks for the report. In Emacs 24, when you try to customize the cursor
face, you will see:

   Currently, only the `:background' attribute is meaningful; all
   other attributes are ignored.

bug#10067: Further inquiry

Is this behavior particularly difficult to implement in cocoa?

Is there previous discussion of the bug which explains what causes it?

It's not implemented on any platform (AFAIK).

Bug 4194 may be relevant, Glenn Morris said:

"In Emacs 24, the doc for the cursor face will say:

 Currently, only the `:background' attribute is meaningful; all
 other attributes are ignored."
