bug#43646: 27.1; Feature request: Set the cursor foreground color in no-window Emacs

[O V]

Dear Eli,

Thank you for your reply.

It is very easy to reproduce this behavior:

1. Open an org file (e.g. the example "test.org" in attachment) with "emacs -nw -Q test.org".

2. Run "M-x org-indent-mode".

3. Move the cursor to the beginning of an indented heading, where the heading stars are hidden.

Behaviour: The cursor is not visible.

Kind regards,

Olivier Vasseur

Thank you for your report.

Could you please provide a recipe for reproducing the problem,
starting from "emacs -Q"?  Please include in your recipe the minimal
Org file needed for reproducing.  TIA.
