Cursor disappears at random using Gutenberg
-
I am a naive user with a simple blog website based on Theme 2016. I have set Windows so my cursor is thick, but on WordPress it is snarrow. After typing a few words, following no pattern I can detect, the cursor disappears. Fn F3 and Fn F11 bring it back, but only briefly. This does not happen when I am using Word. I am obviously confused about which program determines cursor size and behavior, so would appreciate some help. Thanks in advance

WordPress runs in your browser. It has both front and back end components. Your cursor can be changed by javascript or CSS in WordPress. Your theme or a plugin could change the cursor. It more than likely your theme or a Gutenberg is changing the cursor. Word and WordPress have nothing to do with each other. Word is a program written by Microsoft it written in a compiled language like c#. Whereas WordPress is written in PHP which is an interpreted language. WordPress is an opensource code. Anyone can see the code that composes WordPress. Nothing is hidden. However, It a bad idea to try to modify WordPress files except in the wp_content folder. Microsoft will do everything in it power to keep you from viewing the source code for word. It is totally hands-off.
To answer your question each program is responsible for handling the cursor. Word determines how the cursor will behave in word and WordPress is responsible for determining how the cursor will behave in WordPress.
