[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#336443: /usr/bin/lyx-xforms: Cursor behaves strangely when the system clock is changed

[Silas S. Brown]

Package: lyx-xforms
Version: 1.3.4-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/lyx-xforms


Today I set the system clock back 1 hour due to the end of
British Summer Time (the equivalent of Daylight Saving
Time).  The LyX cursor stopped blinking, and when another
window was placed over the cursor and then moved away, the
cursor was not re-drawn until it was moved.  Maybe the
cursor code is depending on the real-time clock rather than
on a timer that is independent of clock time.
