Bug#950620: abiword: Poor cursor visibility while moving with arrow keys
Package: abiword
Version: 3.0.2-9+b1
Severity: wishlist
Most programs make the cursor visible when a key is pressed and only blink
it when idle. Abiword does this too when letters are typed but ignores
arrow keys. As a result the cursor is periodically invisible when moving
around the document. What's worse, pressing an arrow key seems to actually
turn the cursor *off*, which makes it very annoying to move to the exact
position you want to edit.
