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

["Greg Brown (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-508?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12873519#action_12873519 ] 

Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-508:
----------------------------------

The caret should be gray in this case to indicate that the text area is non-editable. However, I agree that it could be confusing. This was done intentionally to allow a user to select text in a non-editable text area using the keyboard. However, we could consider disabling all keyboard access to a non-editable text area if that makes more sense.

> 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.
