Hi,

When I compile the IDE using the Qt (4.3) widgetset, I do not see the edit cursor in the editor. My color scheme is with a black background as can be seen in most of the screenshots in the following wiki page.

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/New_IDE_features_since

Is this a known issue it Qt? Under GTK2 (as shown in the screenshots) I believe the cursor color was an XOR of the background.

Regards,

I guess it is a known issue - it was reported by me. Oops. :-)

Yes, anyway there's no chance too see that for qt-4.3 (no pen raster ops inside qt-4.3).

That is pretty unbelievable that qt got all the way up to v4.3 lacking such a feature. But you are correct, running other Qt based apps, the cursor is always painted in black. :-(

Hey, fpGUI has a feature Qt doesn't! ;-)

Fixed in r 20603 (but you have to update your qt. Qt-4.5.0 is minimum requirement for raster ops).

It have in 4.5, and your issue is resolved ... just upgrade to 4.5 and that's it :)

Does qt not have a notion of a caret?

no, QTextLayout->drawCursor() does the job for text input widgets.
