Re: [cp-patches] FYI: Stopping the DefaultCaret timer when the component looses the focus.

[Meskauskas Audrius]

Despite the current version always operates correctly, yes, the timer 
generally must be started regardless if the caret is now visible or not 
(it may get visible due blinking). I was also thinking about  the 
version where the "visible" property is not involved into the blinking 
process, but in this case the custom caret does not blink.

      * javax/swing/text/DefaultCaret.java (updateTimerStatus): Ignore 
the field "visible".
