The cursor sits then close to the line-number symbol, and when I press C-p or C-n the line number change (e.g. from L10 to L9 and L11), but there is no visible cursor on the screen anymore. Hitting all the usual keys (C-g, ESC) did not help me out. Anybody knows what feature of Emacs I discovered here by some finger slipping on the keyboard? my system: "GNU Emacs 24.0.93.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.10) of 2012-02-07 on arch Org-mode version 7.8.03 Ma Gnus v0.2" -- cheers, Thorsten
