Hi Paul,
Good to hear from you I gain, it's been a long time.

I see; it seems to me that by far the simplest way of getting rid of
squiggle related dirt would be not to draw the cursor below the base
line, but it would look a bit weird.
What we should though do is to check before we turn the cursor off
whether it is located in our block -- if not we should leave it alone;
this will significantly reduce the number of times we interfere with it.
I have tried this, and the side-effect of it is that when you load a long
document then while the background spellchecker is running, the
cursor disappears because the auto timer is blocked, so it only
makes sense with the timer in an independent thread.
Tomas
