Subject: bug#16856: 24.3.50;	Cursor leaves garbage in fringe

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I don’t think that bea0f95 (May 21, nsterm.m) fully fixed this problem.  I’ve had several “appearances” of the ominous garbage in the right fringe yesterday.

This was after applying your patch (and removing my workaround).

The workaround is shown below, but at the time it only worked with cursor-type (bar . 2), not (bar . 3).  I haven’t checked with your change.

     }
