Who said anything about closing? I'm just warming up.
So let's back up a bit and see if we have the whole picture:
. What happens in "emacs -Q" without evaluating
(set-foreground-color "black")
(set-background-color "white")
? Is the cursor visible? Is it black?
. Which one of the above expressions triggers the problem when
evaluated? Is the order of evaluating them important?
. When you set the background color of the `cursor' face, does the
problem happen only with the black color? What about colors close
to black, like "gray1", "gray2", etc.? how about "gray40" or
"gray80"?
