Description:
In the editor window (where I type my sql), the cursor flashes between the arrow and text pointers whenever I move it.  It's kind of irritating, because it makes a lot of distracting flashing.

How to repeat:
Open the SQL Editor window.  Type some text.  Move cursor over the text.  Watch pointer flash.

I have the same problem with mysql-installer-5.5.19.0.msi on Windows 7 Pro (64bit). It's quite irritating.

This has been fixed as of the soon-to-be-released Workbench 5.2.41, and 
here's the changelog entry:

In the SQL Editor, the cursor would inappropriately flash. This was
fixed while moving to the native Scintilla control.

I'm still having this issue in 5.2.44 ce, rev 9933.

I still have this as of the same revision the person above me reported (5.2.44 CE, rev. 9933)

I am also seeing this problem, using version 5.2.45 CE.

Confirmed in 5.2.45 .

Confirmed in version 5.2.47  rev 10398

Possible workaround: Disabling mouse pointer shadows resolved this for me.
[10 Jul 2013 12:03] Florin Cazan 
Happens to me too on version 5.2.47 CE.
The workaround suggested by Paul Spadaccini doesn't work for me.

I can confirm this bug with v6.0.711215 and Windows 8
[16 Oct 2013 20:09] Brian Thomas 
Still a bug on v6.0.7.11215 Windows 7.  Also a bug on previous v6 releases.  I have tried multiple versions and it seems it was never fixed.
