[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]
Fixed using a patch installed on 2008-08-20, which uses the generic
cursor type rather than an NS specific field.
[Message part 3 (message/rfc822, inline)]
[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]
Coming from 22, I expected cursor-type to work as buffer-local variable.
That's what it's documented as, and there is no entry in NEWS
regarding this.
However, setting cursor-type takes no effect.
Having looked at the nsfns.m code, I tried this
(set-frame-parameter nil 'cursor-type 'bar)
and voila, it does the job.
Is this intended and the same across platforms? if so, a NEWS entry
would be nice. (I haven't checked the manual).
