Details:

while typing in a text view, the cursor continuously changes from insertion
point to arrow.
I would expect it to remain constant or, even better, hide while typing.

The same blinking happens while scrolling the text view with a mouse scroll
wheel or with a touchpad with scroll feature.

This is happening both with the X11 backend as with the Windows backend.

Follow-up Comment #1:

It turns out that this was caused by a change Eric made in 2011. In the method
[NSTextView.m -_updateState:] he added the update of the cursor rectangles,
which is needed for internal cursor rectangles but would not be needed for the
main one.
I tried a few simple solutions to fix this, but all of these would result in
additional issues.
