Don't see a reason to add options that override system settings. So rather not.

Just for the record, I submitted the patch on gerrit for 6.4 branch here:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/90855

It may be useful for those who build locally 6.4 branch.

I gave it a try with:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=7f45cbace44141e22c159dc2216fefd787e14d1f

Could someone give a try either by putting his/her master sources updated
locally or after 24/48h when a daily build with this patch will be available?

Indeed, I don't have a Mac so couldn't test it.

git grepping SetCursorBlinkTime, it seems we use "flash_time" related with
QApplication::cursorFlashTime() in kf5/qt5, in gtk3 we use blink_time related
to "gtk-cursor-blink-time", in Windows we use Windows function
"GetCaretBlinkTime".
For MacOS part, we indeed need to follow what Alex quoted in
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100706#c1


Xisco/Heiko: what about adding an option to set the blinking cursor rate on
Accessibility/Miscellaneous Options? (a number in ms) perhaps a spinbutton with
min max range?

Let's increase a bit the importance since it may have a real impact, I mean a
physical impact not just aesthetics, for some people.

What could be made to happen then is that this parameter, instead of being
hardcoded, become a configurable item accessible via the advanced
configuration. I have no idea how much work that might represent.

And it appears that the line in question in the code is now:

aStyleSettings.SetCursorBlinkTime( 500 )

@Marja: I'm assuming that Telesto changed it manually in his code tree and
recompiled LibreOffice. His comment was to test his theory that it could indeed
be changed and have the desired effect.

The blinking speed appears to be hard coded. So increasing number should
slowdown the cursor (did test it).

At this point, LibreOffice crashes on opening in MacOS, but there are some
workarounds. The crashes are probably more important than the cursors.

I think Apple *doubled* their cursor blink rates in 10.12.4. For me, that
pushes LibreOffice 5.2.2.2 from painful to blinding and unusable. For some
other users, it could push it from distracting to painful. I mostly use
NeoOffice but had been using LibreOffice for certain functions such as color
handling and search-and-replace which NeoOffice doesn't do as well.

Dear all,

On Debian 8.7 with LibreOffice 5.2.4 GTK2 when I disable blinking text cursor
it works correctly.

Best regards.

Accessibility.

Different people have different needs, but I'm not the only one who has trouble
with blinking pain: http://www.jurta.org/en/prog/noblink or
http://www.macissues.com/2014/12/08/how-to-change-your-macs-text-cursor-blink-rate/

With my neurology, pain hurts, and blinking, flashing, and/or strobing objects,
including these cursors, make it harder to see and therefore to work, and
blinking, flashing, and/or strobing objects, including these cursors, can
trigger my migraines. (Obviously these aren't as painful or nearly as dangerous
as turn signals, pre-dawn strobe bombardments, etc., but these don't help.)

I briefly reverted the title change because I've encountered the same bug in
Draw, but it *mostly* relates to text boxes there, and in Calc.

In the terminal window.

> there's a ton of more important macOS specific chances to be done first.
