Place the caret anywhere in text. Move it to the right 1 character by pressing right arrow key. The caret disappears ("cycle 1"), then you see the effect of drawing the background color where the caret should be ("cycle 2"), then the caret appears as the solid black line ("cycle 3"). The effect is that when you arrow around, you can't see the caret. It should always reset the blink timer and draw the black caret immediately after it moves to a new location. The same behavior is seen when you relocate the care by clicking the mouse -- there is a delay until actually see the caret. The blink rate seems a bit slow as well, which exacerbates this problem.

It's not as simple as you think! I have gone to some pains to make the caret show up as soon as possible, but this a) differs on different platforms, and b) changes occasionally when someone changes view/rendering context behaviour. I know that it still needs some work.

I certainly didn't mean to imply it was "simple", just annoying!
