Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers 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. In GNU Emacs 21.4.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) of 2005-11-02 on hera configured using `configure --with-x=no' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: C value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: pl_PL locale-coding-system: iso-latin-2 default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: Emacs turns on ugly big block cursor in text mode on Linux console. This cursor is very distracting, making emacs almost unusable. I _can_ stop emacs using block cursor by telling emacs that it is running on vt100. The Cursor customization group seem to contain options about X. The patch by Stefan Monnier: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2005-10/msg00886.html gives me back normal cursor.
