No. The patch you mention is bug 13815. And bug 13815 is about a black
document window.
What you are seeing is bug 13791
https://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13791 which is NOT fixed.
I *believe* the proper fix is to remove any drawing code from GR_Caret
(done out of the actually drawing loop) and have it all done in the
document redraw. Just need to find some time to do it as it is not trivial.
I'd happily review a patch is someone has time to cook one.
