[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Dear Developers,

I am writing regarding a feature that I would like to be implemented, and
not a bug.

When using 'org-indent-mode' in Emacs without a GUI (started by 'emacs
-nw'), the cursor is hidden when located on hidden headline stars.

I believe this happens because, as per 'M-x customize-option cursor',
the "cursor foreground color is taken from the background color of the
underlying text". As per the same doc, the cursor foreground cannot be
changed to a fixed face.

In my opinio, allowing this would be an enormous improvement, as the hidden
cursor is a real obstacle to correct viewing and editing of org files.

Could you please make implementations that would solve this problem?

Kind regards,
Olivier Vasseur

Great, so I'm closing this bug report.
