Let's distinguish: are you nitpicking about my word choice or actually stating that there's no problem at all? If you want me to change my word choice: ok, 'totally lost' was an exaggeration, but 'lost' it is not. If looking at a screen I could not discover where my cursor is, then I feel lost. It's an annoying absence of feedback. > >It's my belief that the cursor should always be visible on the screen. > Then feel free to change your terminal settings and/or your cursor > settings such that you can see your cursor everywhere.

Well, I'm playing with the vim Debian package I (co-)maintain and the problem is there with the latest gnome-terminal, dark background, bg=dark, default Debian configuration. Just to sure I just made some more test and the problem is there even with xterm, light background, bg=light, default Debian configuration. You can claim our default configuration is buggy, I would be happy to discover so and fix it. But I'm quite sure the problem will affect a lot of Debian user as soon as vim7 will be released and that I will receive a bug report about this.
