How to stop the flashing/blinking keyboard cursor?

Hi,

in Virtuoso all keyboard cursors are flashing/blinking. In the CIW, in the Library Manager, in the Edit Object Properties Window, anywhere. That is unnerving!

Is there a way to stop this flashing/blinking? Maybe by reducing the flashing/blinking-rate to zero?

Thank you and kind regards,

Magistus...

    If I would write only "cursor" everyone would think that I mean the (mouse-) pointer. wikipedia call that thing what I mean a "text cursor".
    You are right, that that blinking is standard. But on Windows one can turn that behavior of by reducing the flashing/blinking-rate to zero (moving the bar to the left) in the keyboard property window.
    I run Virtuoso on a Windows-Machine by using MobaXterm and connecting to a linux-server. That means, that the windows-properties have no effect on Virtuoso. That is my problem.
    Do you have an idea if there is a way to change that cursor-blinking?
