Sigil uses Qt, and it has a smaller footprint than calibre. So, you could install Sigil for Mac, to see if it has the blinking cursor problem; and if it does you could try running Sigil for Windows under Wineskin and trying the CursorBlinkRate setting.

If it works then it may be worth trying calibre for Windows under Wineskin - the differences between Windows and MacOS file handling would need to be considered.
