I'm encountering an issue with cursor behavior in Emacs, and I'm hoping someone can help me resolve it.
When the cursor hovers over Hebrew text, it becomes invisible. Here are a few facts I've observed:
- This only occurs with the cursor type set to 'bar'.
- The "box" and other cursor types work without issues.
- The "bar" cursor becomes visible if I make its size huge, like '(bar . 10).
- There's a similar, but slightly different issue with Arabic text.
The issue was reproduced with Emacs 29.3 for Mac and emacs-plus 29.4, on macOS Sonoma 14.5 (23F79). Changing font and bidi settings haven't affected the issue. Neither has --no-init-file.
Please let me know if I'm missing something.
