I observe that this problem of the cursor leaving traces seem to occur when I have written in a buffer (e.g. in the scratch buffer) some fairly long text, and then switch to some other application temporarily and then back to Emacs.app. I have made a text file that is big enough so as to reproduce this problem whenever I open it in Emacs.app, switch to some other application and then back to Emacs.app. If the developers are interested, I can send this test file. Regards, -Christos PS: Running on Mac OS X 10.5.2. The cursor is non-blinking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Register now and save $200.
