Okay, but WHY is this even a problem.  So what if the cursor blinks while typing?

Unfortunately yes. Just install current GIT, fire up Ink and see while typing the cursor blink.
I remember this bug had even more side-effects in other applications.

So there was an analysis on this, and it was re-opened only to sit for another four years after I closed it. :)  Is this issue still a problem?

Also confirmed, but I neither consider this a bug nor worth fixing.  Per Fred's comment, I am closing this.

It turns out that this was caused by a change Eric made in 2011. In the method [NSTextView.m -_updateState:] he added the update of the cursor rectangles, which is needed for internal cursor rectangles but would not be needed for the main one.
I tried a few simple solutions to fix this, but all of these would result in additional issues.

while typing in a text view, the cursor continuously changes from insertion point to arrow.
I would expect it to remain constant or, even better, hide while typing.

The same blinking happens while scrolling the text view with a mouse scroll wheel or with a touchpad with scroll feature.

This is happening both with the X11 backend as with the Windows backend.
