Instead, the usual hollow box ;; cursor is displayed. This is not a bug, but the documentation of cursor-type fails to say it. However, it might be reasonable to change this. Perhaps the cursor in a nonselected window should have the same appearance as when the cursor "blinks off". For a bar cursor, this would mean it becomes a thin bar. What do people think of that idea?
