Okay, thanks for clarifying. In Vertico I try hard to avoid modifying 
existing functions. I am sure this issue could be fixed by adjusting the 
`minibuffer-message` function with an advice such that it adds a cursor 
property. Note that Icomplete also does not make these adjustments, so 
maybe there is something else.

I think both Tassilo and I agreed that in the context we are discussing 
(vertico+aggressive-completion), the messages are less important and can 
be happily disabled, making this a non-issue/low-priority issue.
