Sigil for Mac has the same issues. Sigil for Windows won't install in Wineskin.

Have a read of that CW article to see if you want to try one of the virtual Windows under MacOS solutions. I wonder why Qt can inherit cursor behaviour from Windows and not from Mac, be interesting to know what happens with Calibre and Sigil on Linux, different Linux interfaces may behave differently.

Wonderful! Thank you! I hope this helps other users too!
I think the issue is that the MacOS setting is (a) well-hidden and (b) only for one type of text. Last edited by MarjaE; 02-24-2019 at 11:43 PM. |

Sigil for Mac uses an environment variable to completly disable blinking in Qt and has for about the last 3 or 4 releases.
See https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil...r/src/main.cpp Code:
// Qt's setCursorFlashTime(msecs) (or the docs) are broken // According to the docs, setting a negative value should disable cursor blinking // but instead just forces it to look for PlatformSpecific Themeable Hints to get // a value which for Mac OS X is hardcoded to 1000 ms // This was the only way I could get Qt to disable cursor blinking on a Mac if desired if (qEnvironmentVariableIsSet("SIGIL_DISABLE_CURSOR_BLINK")) { // qDebug() << "trying to disable text cursor blinking"; app.setCursorFlashTime(0); // qDebug() << "cursorFlashTime: " << app.cursorFlashTime(); } This was added because other users had the same issues with trying to get Qt to respect the system blink controls. |

And I can confirm it's working here.
