Bug #46918	Cannot Change the Color of the Cursor in the Script Editor

Description:
The cursor is always black.

This causes a problem because if I change the background to black and the foreground to white, the cursor is no longer visible.

How to repeat:
Open "Preferences" and set the background color to be black. (you should also change the foreground color or the text will not be visible).

Suggested fix:
The color of the cursor doesn't necessarily need to be independently configurable -- the color of the cursor should default to either the current foreground text color of the opposite of the background color.

The easiest solution is just to make the cursor color the same as the text color.

(don't forget, when inverting while selecting, the cursor needs to be inverted too if it falls within the selection).

Sorry to tell you, but QB is NOT supported formally on Mac OS X (check http://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/tools.html), so there is no chance for this bug to be fixed.
