[jira] Resolved: (PIVOT-508) TextArea displays blinking cursor even when it's in read-only mode.

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-508?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Greg Brown resolved PIVOT-508.
------------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: 2.0)
       Resolution: Not A Problem

This is by design. The user can still select text with the keyboard even when the text area is non-editable, so we need to display the caret. The caret is gray in this case so the user knows that the text is read-only.

> The blinking cursor in TextArea communicates to the user that they can edit the text by typing, so it's a little mis-leading from a UX point of view to have it blink when the text area is in read-only mode.
