I cannot reproduce this. The cursor blinks for me on MS-Windows as
expected.
Some questions:
. does the problem happen if you invoke "emacs -Q"?
. are you invoking the GUI version of Emacs or the text-terminal
version (by using the -nw command-line switch)?
. what kind of "line cursor" do you see? is it a vertical line or a
horizontal line? what is the value of the cursor-type variable?
. do you have w32-use-visible-system-caret customized to a non-nil
value?
By default, Emacs's cursor only blinks 10 times and then stops; it
resumes blinking after some input event. Are you sure what you see is
not this behavior?
Thanks.
