Summary: Cursor disappears on Linux

Initial Comment:
When focus is passed away from jedit to another window
(e.g. GNOME Terminal or mozilla) then back to jedit
again the text cursor does not reappear.

The problem is sporadic but occurs on two seperate
(RedHat) Linux boxes running 2.4x kernel and Ximian GNOME.

Work around 1: Restart jedit
Work around 2: Select "Utilities -> Global Options",
then dismissing the subsequent dialog box.

This bug is very annoying for me, because I use ctrl-L (go
to line) a lot, because the cursor is missing and I can't
see the line I'm trying to find.  Clicking brings the cursor
back, but then I'm not on my desired line any more.  Argh.

My guess would be that the JDK is misplacing some needed
focus event.

It did not happen on Sun's JDK 1.3.x but now that I'm using
Sun's JDK 1.4.0-beta3 (that fixes the considerably more
annoying deadlock problem 451155), it is back.
