[Message part 1 (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
