Bug#275473: xterm's cursor appears as black rectangle when positioned on EOL
Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
Severity: normal
Another color-related bug that appeared after my upgrade to dfsg.1-8
(I'm sorry - I cannot say which version I used before but probably
non-dfsg at all).
The problem is easily reproduced with, say, mcedit - if you position
the cursor on the end of long line and then move it up/down then you
will notice that most lines makes cursor to be absolutely black.
This looks like a "hole" with default mcedit colors but with black
background it hides cursor completely and makes edition very difficult
and unpleasant work :( .
