bug#5247: 23.1; Cursor disappearing when in reverse video

[bibbiolo2000@yahoo.se]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs 
maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for 
them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org 
mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:




When starting Emacs in reverse video, either by command line 
(--reverse-video) or by registry value ('true' in 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs\emacs.reverseVideo), 
the cursor disappears when going to the upper or lower 
border of a buffer.

I tested this just by starting Emacs with --reverse-video, 
no init file, switching to *scratch* and moving down the cursor.

Emacs version: the latest version for Windows, just 
downloaded from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-23.1-bin-i386.zip

Windows version: XP Professional Version 2002 SP3.

Thank you guys!
Luca

PS: Note that my previous version of Emacs [22.3.1 
(i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2008-09-06 on SOFT-MJASON] did 
not have this problem.




If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb 
debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
     `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read 
the file
c:/Program Files/Emacs23.1/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
