Research direction

Start by reproducing the cursor appearance in micro 2.0.14 on macOS Tahoe 26.0.1, comparing it with the normal cursor and the terminal cursor shown in the report. Trace the terminal cursor rendering path once the behavior is reproducible; done means the unexpected circle no longer appears without changing the expected cursor behavior.
