Bug: startup hidestars also hides the point (square at point) [6.33x]

[Arne Babenhauserheide]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Situation: A file with #+STARTUP: hidestars

Expected: The first stars are hidden, but the marker which shows the
point is visible (since the variable only says hide *stars*). 

Real result: The stars are hidden, but when the point is on any of the
hidden stars, I don't see the marker which shows the point. 

Problem: Due to the point being inivisible, I often stumble through the
file, because I don't know where the point is. 

Best wishes, 
Arne

PS: Org-mode is cool! Along with remember-mode it slowly ursurps my
whole information management workflow :)

I can't reproduce this with a recent version of Org (>7.0).  I suggest
you upgrade and report if this persists.

Thanks for doublechecking. I now tested it again, and this only happens when 
used in a shell (i.e. in a KDE Konsole) where the point does not blink. 

I use org 7.4

Well, I had this problem before but I don't know how to handle it.

I don’t know it either… 

Is it possible to disable the blinking statically and set the point to 
visible? 

Bist wishes,
