First, please reply to the list, not just to me in personal email
(please use Reply All or a similar function of your email program).

And second, I asked what do you want to achieve by setting
line-spacing, not how you would like to see the cursor displayed.  I
understand how you want to see the cursor, there's no need for posting
images.

Anyway, the only suggestion to have the cursor of the same height even
when you set line-spacing non-nil is to set cursor-type to 'bar.  Then
you will have the cursor displayed as a vertical bar whose height is
the height of the line.  We currently don't have a way of doing this
with the default box cursor.
