The cursor is actually hard to see when its color matches the color of
its background. Maybe the idea of setting the cursor color fixed should
be abandoned and inverted colors should be used instead. All writer apps
I know of do so (like Libre and MS). Attached is a quick patch that
seems to achieve this.
