GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 530644
Strange Artifacts -- Ghost Cursors
Last modified: 2008-11-29 07:06:58 UTC
More strange artifacts. See my recent bugs... ;) Sometimes, when writing rather fast, a ghost cursor sticks where a space is. Just observed this again while writing a ChangeLog entry. When hitting space between words and keep on typing, at the position of the space, a cursor like block stays. Probably slightly slimmer than the actual cursor, IIRC.
Hmm, FWIW, I believe I have only seen this in emacs in gnome-terminal. Might be just a coincidence, might give a hint. Similar to the other artifacts...
