It took me forever to track this problem to unclutter. It was driving me crazy (the cursor blinking gave me false cues as to which window was focused and regularly caused me to begin typing in unintended windows).
Another solution might be to use a rewrite of unclutter that uses X's xfixes extensions rather than the sneaky hacks the original unclutter uses: https://github.com/Airblader/unclutter-xfixes I built and have been trying it for about a week and haven't encountered any more cursor blink weirdness. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/452313 Title: Unclutter causes text input cursor to blink in unfocused windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unclutter/+bug/452313/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
