Testing with Sigil could only address the 3rd issue. Note that if both Calibre installations can use the ame library, some of these issues might be a bit easier to deal with-- but switching between Calibre installations would pose its own headaches.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at with:

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

My idea was to use Sigil as a stalking horse. If Sigil for Mac doesn't have a cursor blinking issue - then why does calibre have one - afaik both use Qt more or less the same. But assuming it did, then if Wineskin didn't solve its blinking cursor issue, there would no point in thinking about the file handling issues of calibre under Wineskin.
Then you might want to consider running Windows under MacOS using BootCamp or Virtual Box etc. That would probably solve the blinking cursor issue, but you'd still be left with the file handling differences. I don't think they're so bad as to be unusable - you'd just have to be careful and aware of the differences.
