Bug#492124: apparently no way to disable blinking cursor
Package: openoffice.org-base
Version: 1:2.4.0-6
Severity: normal
Many people are aggravated by having to look at a blinking cursor when
they are editing a document - one web page compares it to Chinese
water torture. I have disabled the blinking cursor in Gnome and
Firefox and in my terminal, but there appears to be no way to do it in
OpenOffice. If this is true, then until there is a way, the software
will be practically unusable to me and to a minority of others. This
is an accessibility issue, which should be pretty easy to fix.
