Three months ago, I sent an e-mail to this list about two serious annoyances which crippled my use of pgAdmin
completely.

One of them was that it had begun showing a white "flash" each time you opened a new "page", before drawing the real
(dark)background. This was luckily fixed shortly afterwards. 

However, the second issue, the hardcoded blinking caret which doesn't respect system settings nor has any preference to
turnit off inside pgAdmin, remains. It looks like it has been added with "low" priority in a big list of
bugs/suggestionswhich I have no idea how long they will take for anyone to care:
https://github.com/pgadmin-org/pgadmin4/issues/8712(I had to ask somebody else to post it on Github because that site
doesn'tlet me register an account.) 

Since Mozilla and others has ignored important issues for decades, and I'm literally screaming from frustration every
timeI'm using pgAdmin due to the blinking caret, I have to ask: is there any chance that this will be cared about
withina meaningful timeframe? I'm not exaggerating in the least when I claim that at least to me, this is a critical
bugwhich seriously prevents me from using the program. It really is that annoying. I always out of necessity turn off
blinkingcursors and any other animated elements in my computer environment, but it seems impossible for pgAdmin. 

Perhaps most of all I wonder how this can be something that only I seem to care about. How are you all able to think
andtype in the SQL query or do anything else in the application when there's a blinking caret which constantly steals
yourfocus and attention?
