Hello,

I have been seeing this issue too, but I haven't found time to create a
proper bug report for it.

But now that you have this email, I am forwarding this to the Emacs devel
list too.

The issue occurs because of the new :extend feature for faces to extend
till end of lines.

With that enabled, I have also seen that the cursor "hides" automatically
only at end of lines inside the Org source blocks. i.e within

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(message "hello")X
#+end_src

Above: X is where the cursor would be, but it would not be visible (with
the :extend t added to the org-block face). The cursor would show up again
on doing C-b i.e. bringing it to any column position other than the EOL.
