Interesting. Now that I've checked again, it's indeed that a terminal
frame does not show any reverse video effects at all with the cursor, so
that explains this display oddity.
> Isn't that what you originally expected to see?
I didn't expect anything specific, just that in any case the entire line
is legible. The difference between the terminal and GUI frame did stump
me.

Yes, if a face has the same color for fore- and background, it's
practically invisible. If you've got any more specific term for this
that is different from invisible as in the special property, I'd be
interested in knowing it.
> Yes. But the face needs to have that as part of its definition.
OK, which face would it be in this case, the cursor or the line face?

Well, I do. If putting the cursor on a special space has a different
effect in GUI than in textual frames, I'd like to know what's causing it
and whether there is any way of fixing it.
> Can we now close the bug?
I still don't have a tangible solution at hand for fixing this display
glitch. Altering `x-stretch-cursor` is a workaround, but not as good as
altering, say, the line face to be displayed under every condition by
altering its definition.
