Summary: insertofftime 0 should not hide the cursor in text widgets

Initial Comment:
Background:
A text widget with a blinking cursor.

Issue:
After the widget is created, using -insertofftime 0 to stop 
the cursor blinking stops it in the state the cursor is at 
the time the above command is processed. The cursor 
can therefore be off, depending on when insertofftime 0 
was processed.

What it should be (IMHO):
Using -insertofftime 0 should stop blinking the cursor 
and always display it.

To reproduce the issue:
In a wish session, type:
text .t -insertofftime 500 -insertontime 500
pack .t
.t insert insert "This is a blinking cursor test.     "
bind Text <Shift-Button-3> { %W configure -
insertofftime   0 }
bind Text <Button-3> { %W configure -insertofftime 500 }
focus .t

Now play with mouse button 3 and with the shift key to 
stop the blinking and start it again.

You can easily show that the cursor stops blinking in 
the state it is in when tk processes the insertofftime 0.

If you make it stop blinking when it is on, then it 
remains visible in the widget, otherwise it is hidden and 
does not reappear until blinking is restored using button-
3 (try typing text in the widget, or click button1 for 
instance).

Many thanks for that.

However, I can't see any change in the cvs file tkText.c. 
Strange...

Downloaded the full tcl and tk cvs version, compiled (Win 
XP), applied your patch, and...

...it works for me, thanks!!

Will we see this included in the cvs version? What's the 
process now?
