My thoughts are does it matter what widget I'm interacting with when I see a cursor? If I see a text-related cursor, it should either blink or not. The mouse cursor here doesn't count obviously - is there another name for it than cursor to distinguish between the text and mouse cursor? I don't think so. So maybe something like "Text cursor blinks"?

KEYBOARD

Keyboard

* "Cursor blinks in text boxes and fields"

Do people know what the difference is between a box and a field? I
know I always confuse the two. Does it matter? Can't we just shorten
it to "Cursor blinks in text fields"?


I think the only difference is that text boxes are multi-line. But I
also think that distiguishing the two isn't necessary in this label; I'm
interested in other comments about this though.
