I can not reproduce it. Did you somewhere override the Cursor highlight somewhere in your config?

I have the same issue and can’t find anywhere in my config overriding the Cursor highlight. When disabling cursorline, the cursor becomes visible, so it seems to have the same highlight as cursorline in spaces.

I’m not sure it’s related, but adding an option to disable cursorline highlighting does not solve the issue. I also think it’s better not to have such an option, as it is already built into vim (set nocul).

Also, even without cul, the contrast between the Cursor highlight and background isn’t that strong. I realized the highlight of the Cursor differs from being on a blank line and being in space or tabs. Maybe they should be the same?

Disable cursor line I added because even there is no cursorline I wanted to highlight CurosrLineNr. The problem is the cursor picking up the background from text under it. Doing :hi! Cursor ... does not do anything. Right now I can't figure out what's happening, but I found this https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/6591

Oh, okay.

It seems like a more complicated issue than I first though. It’s weird how it only affects some spaces/tabs, the ones in source code files. If you open up a regular text file and put some spaces there, the highlighting is correct.

I also noticed that setting vim.opt.list = false makes somewhat better.
