Fixed in SVN, r5640.

(It's not really necessary to switch off the cursor while printing the list of possible completions, but... when the terminal is slow, it's maybe nice to not see the cursor creep along.  But it does that all the time when refreshing the edit window, so...  That curs_set(0) could probably be removed.)

(And it is maybe nicer to add a parameter to do_yesno_prompt(), to say whether to show a cursor or not.  Makes it more explicit.)

Cursor is also present in file browser.

Since nano-2.5.2, the helps screens show the cursor.  On one of my systems, the cursor is motionless, so it is unobtrusive.  But on another it blinks...  Arh!

When I changed that curs_set() command, I knew it should be switched on only for the main entry of text and when having a prompt, but without checking properly I thought get_kbinput() would cover both.  Well... yes, but it covers too much.
