Bug 90303 turn off caret blink
Reported: 2005-04-05 10:57:36 | Status: resolved fixed

There appears to be no way to turn off the caret blinking in eclipse. It's really annoying :-( I use eclipse on linux. My GTK+ and Gnome settings all have blinking turned off, so it must be eclipse doing this. Ideally, it should be a wider caret (i.e. the width of a character), and the color of it should be configurable.
