When I'm typing in the target segment, the cursor stops blinking after about 5 seconds. After that it becomes solid, partially obscuring the last character, especially if it's an l, i or t.
It would be really helpful if the cursor could be set to blink continuously, as it does in applications such as Word or, indeed, this web page.
If the cursor cannot be made to blink constantly, could there be a separation between the cursor and the last character?
