When he draws the curtain
a. I can't see him when he draws the curtain.
b. I can't see him when he has drawn the curtain.
I think normally this two sentences would mean the same thing. But (a) could also mean
c. I can't see him when he is drawing the curtain.
although that does not make a lot of sense!
Am I correct?
Many thanks.
