* Emacs master, faces with :extend t let cursor vanish at EOL?!

I am writing to the org-mode list first, because I have only been able
to reproduce this problem in org-mode.
With a recent Emacs master build, faces can have the :extend t property
to indicated that they should extend after the newline. This is useful
for a user to customize, eg, for `org-block', and it also applies to
default faces like `region', `highlight' or `secondary-selection'.
Using this with a current elpa pkg of org-mode, and setting :extend t on
faces like `org-block`, "often" the cursor vanishes at the EOL of a line
using such a face. It reliably happens for `org-block', only sometimes
for `secondary-selection'.
Has anybody else experienced that as well, or do you have any pointers
on how to further investigate this? I think I remember that org-mode does
something with text overlays, but I can't relate that to what I see.
There might also be an issue with face inheritance and the new :extend
attribute --- I might post on emacs-devel to get a better idea of that
as well.
Thanks,
Ingo

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.

I suggest not to cross-post to 2 mailing lists.

I tried to reproduce this, but couldn't. The OP says "often", so I
understand the problem is not 100% reproducible and the exact
situations in which it arises are not yet known.
So I suggest to find a reproducible recipe and then report it with
report-emacs-bug, so that the problem could be debugged and solved.
Thanks.

can you keep track of this issue and related discussions?
I doubt there is anything we can do in Org itself, but perhaps a hint
in a docstring could help.
Let us know, thanks,

Hi Bastien,
I am confused, I thought this was fixed, but I have a really hard to find
the bug..
Some time later: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=38330
Best,
Ingo
