You may be using undocked editor/command windows. I use fully docked layout, so the windows are just Qt widgets on a single X11 parent window.

On my system, when the command window has focus there is no cursor shown in the editor window. I don't know why this is different on your system, maybe a different version of Qscintilla2 or a different window manager affecting behavior?

In bug #43671 it was decided to not hide the cursor but instead have contrasting colors for the title bars of active and inactive windows that can be customized. Based on the outcome of that bug, closing this as a duplicate.

If you click in command window, having a file opened in editor dock, you'll have two text cursors, both blinking, and thus will be unable to tell at a glance where the focus is. When you click in the editor, the cursor in the command window stops blinking, but still is present, so you have to look for about a second to tell that it's not active.

Instead the cursor should be present only in the window where you can enter some text in current mode and should be hidden in unfocused widgets.
