Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-508:
----------------------------------
The caret should be gray in this case to indicate that the text area is
non-editable. However, I agree that it could be confusing. This was done
intentionally to allow a user to select text in a non-editable text area using
the keyboard. However, we could consider disabling all keyboard access to a
non-editable text area if that makes more sense.
> TextArea displays blinking cursor even when it's in read-only mode.

> The blinking cursor in TextArea communicates to the user that they can edit
> the text by typing, so it's a little mis-leading from a UX point of view to
> have it blink when the text area is in read-only mode.
