Dear Eli,

Thank you for your reply.
It is very easy to reproduce this behavior:
1. Open an org file (e.g. the example "test.org" in attachment) with "emacs
-nw -Q test.org".
2. Run "M-x org-indent-mode".
3. Move the cursor to the beginning of an indented heading, where the
heading stars are hidden.
Behaviour: The cursor is not visible.

Kind regards,
Olivier Vasseur
