[Aquamacs-bugs] 23.2.50; cursor disappears when viewing MIME message with link in VM

[Alley Stoughton]

[Because the following issue only comes up with VM, and since when
running Aquamacs without customizations, I don't have access to VM, I
haven't been able to follow your bug reporting rules. But the problem
*does* occur when I remove customizations.el.]

When using VM in Aquamacs 2.1 to view a MIME message with a link, like
the one in the attached PNG, the cursor disappears. When I navigate
in the buffer using either the keyboard or the mouse, I don't get
feedback via the cursor as to where I am. When I move to another
message (without a MIME link), though, the cursor reappears.

This behaviour doesn't occur in Emacs 23/Cocoa. I don't believe it
occurred in Aquamacs 2.0, but I can't locate this older verson on your
website and no longer have it on my computer.

There has been a fix related to this that went in just after 2.1 was released. So, could you try the nightly build and let us know if that fixes it?

Thanks,
David

The nightly indeed fixes the problem. Thanks!
