Start Emacs 25 (master branch) (with -Q if you like)
(setq line-spacing 1.0)
(Note how the display doesn’t update, so enter C-l to force it)
Result: cursor is displayed with wrong (large, two-line) height when at the end of a line, and correctly when not at the end of a line.
Works similarly with different cursor types.
This wasn’t the case in Emacs 24.
Also note bug#17977, although I disagree about the reporter’s preferences. In any case, the cursor’s height should not change. If it has to be this high, the actual text line should be vertically centered.
