Cursor barley visible in code editor under windows

Workaround

Change to the black mouse cursor in the windows settings or turn hardware acceleration off.

Developer comments

Cannot be reproduced. Might be dependent on specific settings in the browser profile of the user.

This is not dependent on user settings, but affects all users working in the same browser under different OS profiles on the same machine. While the issue is transient, it is quite easy to reproduce, by moving the cursor in and out of the code editor div frequently and also switching between different browser windows. Might be caused by underlying techniques the cursor implementation of code mirror uses.

Rejection comment

Has nothing to do with CodeMirror nor Topincs. Affects all web pages and browsers under Windows.
