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

I am using a wrap prefix with just spaces. This works nicely, but
unfortunately the face used for first char after the prefix pollutes
the display of the wrap prefix, see the attached file.

I see some problems with the cursor display when on the first
character to. I enter that char from above the cursor is displayed. If
I enter it from below (with the arrow key) the cursor is not
displayed.

GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) from trunk 2010-10-19 (patched)

What face, in your opinion, should instead be used?  Think about it.

I can't reproduce this.  Please provide a recipe.

Further information was requested, but none was apparently given, so
I'm closing this bug report.
