Christophe Strobbe <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #16 from Christophe Strobbe <[email protected]> --- This seems to be an issue where applications (such as Apache OpenOffice) need to follow the settings in the operating system. Here is what I found: * In Windows XP, the cursor blink rate can be slowed down, and cursor blinking can be turned off under Control Panel > Keyboard > Cursor blink rate. The values range from "None" to "Fast". OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 on Windows XP observes this setting. * In Windows 7, the cursor blink rate can be slowed down, and cursor blinking can be turned off in the Keyboard properties. Either go to Control Panel > Keyboard, or type "cursor" after pressing the Windows key ("Change cursor blink rate" will be one of the search results) to access the keyboard properties. The cursor blink rate has the same range of values as in Windows XP. Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 and 4.0 both adopt the cursor blink rate set in Windows 7. * In GNOME 3.6 on Fedora 18, the cursor blink rate can only be set through gsettings, not through the Universal Access settings or the Gnome tweak tool. There is no user-friendly way to do this. gsettings can be set through the command line, or by using the dconf-editor. (On Fedora, dconf-editor needs to be added after OS installation; it is not installed by default). In dconf-editor, go to org.gnome.desktop.interface. Cursor blinking can be turned off by unchecking "cursor-blink". "cursor-blink-time" changes the blink rate (values range from 100 to 2500; the default is 1200). I have not checked AOO, but LibreOffice 3.6.3.2 observes these settings (although the extremely fast rates are not as fast as in gedit), and I lazily assume that this would apply to AAO as well. So now we need a few volunteers to check Mac OS X and Linux with KDE. If cursor blink rate can be set on these OSs and AOO observes those settings, then this is not an OpenOffice bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
