Three months ago, I sent an e-mail to this list about two serious annoyances 
which crippled my use of pgAdmin completely.

One of them was that it had begun showing a white "flash" each time you opened 
a new "page", before drawing the real (dark) background. This was luckily fixed 
shortly afterwards.

However, the second issue, the hardcoded blinking caret which doesn't respect 
system settings nor has any preference to turn it off inside pgAdmin, remains. 
It looks like it has been added with "low" priority in a big list of 
bugs/suggestions which I have no idea how long they will take for anyone to 
care: https://github.com/pgadmin-org/pgadmin4/issues/8712 (I had to ask 
somebody else to post it on Github because that site doesn't let me register an 
account.)

Since Mozilla and others has ignored important issues for decades, and I'm 
literally screaming from frustration every time I'm using pgAdmin due to the 
blinking caret, I have to ask: is there any chance that this will be cared 
about within a meaningful timeframe? I'm not exaggerating in the least when I 
claim that at least to me, this is a critical bug which seriously prevents me 
from using the program. It really is that annoying. I always out of necessity 
turn off blinking cursors and any other animated elements in my computer 
environment, but it seems impossible for pgAdmin.

Perhaps most of all I wonder how this can be something that only I seem to care 
about. How are you all able to think and type in the SQL query or do anything 
else in the application when there's a blinking caret which constantly steals 
your focus and attention?
