Package version: emacs-23.1.94-2.fc13.i686 The emacs cursor stays black which hides the glyph that it is on. Even customizing the cursor face setting it to inverse video doesn't fix the issue.
This seems to be an intel driver bug on this specific graphics hardware. I've reported it upstream.
Hello Rui, I am closing this bug as CLOSED-UPSTREAM, as the bug is not in Emacs. Thank you for investigating it and reporting upstream.
This is actually quite annoying. Rui, please can you provide a link to the Intel bug? And do you happen to know why this wasn't happening in F12? Thanks, Ales
(Reopened, so I can request additional information. I think someone would open this sooner or later anyway).

It's linked here as an External Bug: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27950 > And do you happen to know > why this wasn't happening in F12? No, but since this seems specific to this graphics hardware (Intel Arrandale) and I have never had F12 installed on this laptop I don't know if it didn't happen there. I say it's specific to this hardware because I've asked on IRC and other people with Intel graphics didn't see the issue.

No, it was *not* occuring on F12. Ales
Ales, have you updated to emacs-23.2-1.fc13.i686 yet? It seems this issue is fixed with that emacs version.
I just updated and the problem is gone. Eight times hooray!
OK, I am actually reopening this, I still see the problem.

Can you confirm that under a compositing manager you don't see the bug?

At this point I'd file the bug on upstream emacs. I've already closed the bug on the intel driver at freedesktop's bugzilla, but you could also re-open that one.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
