Subject: 28.0.50;
 make-pointer-invisible t should work also for navigation commands
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2020 07:12:54 -0700

Severity: wishlist

Please consider the following feature request:

0. emacs -Q
1. (setq make-pointer-invisible t)
2. M-x customize-group RET RET
3. Move mouse pointer over e.g. "Editing" to highlight it
4. C-n C-p C-f C-b

Result: "Editing" is still highlighted.

Desired result: "Editing" is _not_ highlighted.

It would be good if this could be made to work also for C-v and M-v, and
maybe some others too.
