Cursor Becomes Invisible #59

Closed bunnylushington closed 12 years ago

bunnylushington commented 12 years ago

When using commit f41e9e4db66 (28 Apr 12) and after, all new buffers appear with invisible cursors. There are no (obvious) error messages displayed. Explicitly setting the cursor face causes the cursor to appear although buffers minted afterwards continue to have an invisible cursor.

emacs version: GNU Emacs 23.4.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) of 2012-01-29 on bob.porkrind.org color-theme version: 6.6.0

I'm happy to provide further information if required. Thanks!

A few questions:

are you running in Cocoa or terminal?
if terminal, what is the result of (display-color-cells)?
what is the result of M-x describe-face cursor?
what is your terminal’s definition for cursor color? (in Terminal.app, this is in Preferences/Settings/Text)

I'm guessing that this is some 8-color terminal weirdness, since I do some tricks to try to turn an 8-color term into a 12-color term. But I'm not sure what's happening specifically.

Oh, one other question – are you using the light or dark Emacs theme, and a light or dark terminal theme?

bunnylushington commented 12 years ago

I'm running as a Cocoa app. When I run in a terminal window I don't experience this behavior (to be honest, I rarely run emacs in Terminal).
display-color-cells evaluates to 16777216
cursor is described as: Family: unspecified Foundry: unspecified Width: unspecified Height: unspecified Weight: unspecified Slant: unspecified Foreground: #042028 Background: #708183 Underline: unspecified Overline: unspecified Strike-through: unspecified Box: unspecified Inverse: unspecified Stipple: unspecified Font: unspecified Fontset: unspecified Inherit: unspecified
Terminal.app defines the cursor color as RGB 127, 127, 127.
I see this behavior with both the light and dark theme in the Cocoa emacs.

Thanks for your (very) prompt response.

Oh, that was a much simpler bug than I thought … I had just grabbed the wrong color for the cursor definition (the cursor face is defined confusingly, IMO).

Anyway, should be better now. Sorry about that.
