Short answer: no.

Background: Various terminals behave differently about how the cursor is
displayed. Also the cursor shape may depend on whether the terminal is
in focus or not. To avoid that the cursor disappears (which is a big
problem) the Visual highlighting is not applied to the character under
the cursor. That may look a little bit strange (small problem) but
you'll get used to it.
