Dear Developers,
I am writing regarding a feature that I would like to be implemented, and
not a bug.
When using 'org-indent-mode' in Emacs without a GUI (started by 'emacs
-nw'), the cursor is hidden when located on hidden headline stars.
I believe this happens because, as per 'M-x customize-option cursor',
the "cursor foreground color is taken from the background color of the
underlying text". As per the same doc, the cursor foreground cannot be
changed to a fixed face.
In my opinio, allowing this would be an enormous improvement, as the hidden
cursor is a real obstacle to correct viewing and editing of org files.
Could you please make implementations that would solve this problem?
Kind regards,
Olivier Vasseur

Thank you for your report.
Could you please provide a recipe for reproducing the problem,
starting from "emacs -Q"? Please include in your recipe the minimal
Org file needed for reproducing. TIA.

Dear Eli,
Thank you for your reply.
It is very easy to reproduce this behavior:
1. Open an org file (e.g. the example "test.org" in attachment) with "emacs
-nw -Q test.org".
2. Run "M-x org-indent-mode".
3. Move the cursor to the beginning of an indented heading, where the
heading stars are hidden.
Behaviour: The cursor is not visible.
Kind regards,
Olivier Vasseur

Thanks. However, I cannot reproduce the behavior you describe with
this recipe: I do see the cursor in those places.
Btw, AFAIK the colors of the cursor in the -nw session are determined
by the terminal emulator, not by Emacs.

Great, so I'm closing this bug report.
