#2550 Text widget block cursor problem

Milestone: obsolete: 8.5.10

When the -blockcursor option is set to 1, the cursor appears as a blinking bar which expands to the right edge of the widget.

The problem is there for Tk 8.5.4 on X11 (tested by me) and HEAD (confirmed by dkf on the tcler's chat).
