Cursor blinking in FocusWriter

Posted on January 19, 2010, under FocusWriter

I’ve been working on a bugfix release of FocusWriter for a while now, and because of how long I’ve been working on it I decided to add a few small features along the way. Of course, the risk when doing that is that I might introduce new bugs, and that is exactly what happened.

After some requests, I added a nasty hack to allow the user to disable the cursor blinking because I couldn’t find a way in Qt to toggle it for a specific widget (if anyone has any ideas, I’m all ears). The hack seems to work fine under Linux, but it has a few issues on Windows and makes FocusWriter completely unusable on the Mac. Because of this I have reverted the feature for now, and I will look into it again in the future.
