The cursor has changed from a nice underline to a solid white block. Not only that, but the block is bigger than the font it is over (if I am on top of adjacent letters, it covers the entire letter I am on, plus a couple of pixels of the letter to the right). In additition, the cursor now disappears while typing, and navigating around (on the command line left and right, or even in an editor when moving the cursor up and down). This disappearing while typing or navigating is _really_ annoying. If I go left or right a lot, I have to keep stopping to see where the cursor actually is. FYI, this is on an UltraSPARC Blade 100, Mach64. Atleast things didn't break completely :) Definitely need this fixed though. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ WatchGuard - http://www.watchguard.com/
