5.5.2 Linux display bug?

[Warren Samples]

Hello,

I find that the the blinking insertion cursor is not displayed in 
Livecode 5.5.2 in the IDE, and carrying over through a standalone. This 
happens running openSUSE 12.1, KDE and Mint 9, Gnome. Toggling desktop 
effects in SUSE makes no difference, Mint is running in VirtualBox 
without effects. It's a little awkward.

I also have the phantom pointer in SUSE, where after launch the pointer 
disappears over the IDE toolbar and tools palette. It displays when over 
the message box or a stack, but disappears again over the toolbar and 
tools palette. It also does not display over an inspector palette, but 
does change to the I bar over the text fields (insertion point is still 
invisible), disappearing again when leaving them. Opening the dictionary 
resolves the problem for the rest of the session. The dictionary doesn't 
have to stay open. Toggling effects doesn't fix it and I tried a couple 
of different cursor themes, animated and non-animated, and that didn't 
make a difference.

Can someone confirm or deny?
