24.3.50; `make-pointer-invisible' don't seem to work |

Hi,
(Maybe I'm missing something, but I fail to see what)
I've read this paragraph in (info "(emacs) Display Custom"):
If the mouse pointer lies inside an Emacs frame, Emacs makes it
invisible each time you type a character to insert text, to prevent it
from obscuring the text. (To be precise, the hiding occurs when you
type a "self-inserting" character. *Note Inserting Text::.) Moving
the mouse pointer makes it visible again. To disable this feature, set
the variable `make-pointer-invisible' to `nil'.
When I try to test that feature, the mouse pointer never hides. It
only changes between the arrow (when the pointer is over an empty
area) and the "I-beam" (when the pointer is over some text).
I've tested this with Emacs -Q, with the current trunk, with the
current emacs-24 branch, and with the 24.2, 24.1 and 23.4 releases.
In all cases the behavior is the same (mouse pointer remains visible
after typing text).

This should work with Emacs 25.1. Bug closed.
Thanks, martin
