Cursor in 0047

There's no visible cursor in 0047 (using WinXP). A minor thing, but it has a huge impact on usability.

woah, really? i don't have xp so i can't test..
when does it disappear? does it have some relationship to entering or leaving the text area?
the sun jdk had some kind of problem with hiding the cursor when you start typing and then not showing it once you started moving around.. i had added a hack to get around it, but i wonder if that's back.

The cursor is visible when it is all the way to the left; otherwise, the line is just highlighted. That's the only relationship to position I've found.

Yes, the caret blinks when it's visible.
Sorry for the terminology confusion.

I've noticed this happening in other text-editing applications (UltraEdit), so I'm not sure it's a P5-specific error.
A quick fix is to click on another application, then return to P5 - this should return the blinking caret.

I just tried it, and found that the cursor is made temporarily visible whenever the P5 window is refeshed (resize, app switch between overlapping windows). It blinks into view and then disappears again.

I just found that the caret is visible for insert mode, if that helps any.

In response to questions in:

Nope, I tried the suggested beforehand. In the meantime I have cleaned up my machine which also included removing multiple versions of the JRE and reinstalled P5 0051 and... to my surprise it works! The cleanup included number of unused versions of software, so I don't really have an answer what fixed it, but it seems to be a collision with something else on the system. I guess, other Java plug-ins/applications would be the prime suspects. The theory is also supported by the fact that in my other test I installed the same JRE and P5 on a fairly virgin machine with the same W2K and it did not exhibit the carret problem. This is all I can help here...
