I checked `blink-cursor's value. It is currently set to t.
But I just discovered something else.
If I open a shell window, the cursor is down at the end of the prompt, and I hit
the cntrl key (nothing else), the cursor toggles on and off almost 100% of the
time. Sometimes it stays on if on or off it it was off, but I'd guess 98% of the
time it toggles on and off.....huuummmm????
BTW, it STAYS off until I type something.
Aha! I just tried the same in this *mail* buffer. Same thing happens.
Aha Aha! I just tried the same in this *mail* buffer with the shift key.
*Same thing happens*.
But now I realize my cursor is not blinking at all. Just stays solid.
So I just set the blink-cursor to nil.
Same thing here too.
Does any of this help? I did not notice this in v 21.1....
Wait a second, I'll try it right now in 21.1...
21.1 cursor blinks. I can not get it to go away.
Thanks for looking into this.
