I personally can't reproduce this. The "shadow cursor" that appears at
the beginning of the line is a known problem by Pat and me.

The cursor disappearing is intentional, at least for now. The document
technically doesn't have focus (AV_FOCUS_NONE) so therefore no cursor
blinks when your mouse is over the modeless dialog (as opposed to being
over the document). This is probably not ideal, but then again, it might
be the right thing to do. This behavior is great, however, for modal
dialogs (see bug "Cursor blinks in the presence of a modal dialog").
BTW, tables do weird things to the document's integrity. So does
frequent copy+paste of information. An example of such a table-related
assert is:

On IRC or privately I'll give you better instructions on how to
reproduce these. It generally only involves some random typing,
scrolling via the arrow keys, and/or cell merging.
