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"?
