Cursor disappearing

[NickStafford2]

Problem

The cursor occasionally disappears behind the vertical lines. I am still trying to figure out why it occurs. I thought I would report it for the record.

I am investigating it myself and I will post a fix/explanation if I figure it out.

Steps to reproduce

A difficult bug to reproduce, but I have seen it several times. If I can replicate it again, I will add further notes.

I have no configuration settings for indent-blankline. I am using Lazy-vim with some custom plugins. I can provide details if needed. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I am happy to help write up a fix.

indent-breakline version:

`lazy-lock.json:25:4: "indent-blankline.nvim": { "branch": "master", "commit": "3af6493bf69e4a857a8b1fab36f333629d413a18" },

Expected behavior

Cursor remains visible.

Neovim version (nvim -v)

• NVIM v0.10.1
• Build type: Release
• LuaJIT 2.1.1713484068

IBL does not do anything with the cursor. This looks like a lower level bug. Either with Neovim or your terminal.
I don't think I can help you with this, sorry.

Thanks. I will keep investigating deeper down. If I fix it, I could post back here in case it helps anyone else.

Disabling this plugin does fix it, but I'll keep debugging.

I had the same issue and can confirm that disabling the plugin fixes this.

This is related to the cursor color. Here are a few ideas: Try disabling the cursorline (:set nocul) or change the cursorline color (e.g. :highlight CursorLine guibg=#1e1e1e) and see if that fixes it. You could also set a cursor color in your terminal settings, which should override the neovim setting.

Hope that helps!

Pretty sure it's not the cursor color in this case. You can see that the cursor is displayed correctly in gray sometimes, but not all the time.

Yes, it's strange. But disabling the cursor line or setting a cursor color in the terminal settings does (kind of) fix it for me.
