Turns out the Sugarlab's track things
I spam them after the 4th ticket :-) so I can not file a
proper ticket but maybe better here.
Using F11-XO1/os9 with Sugar 0.84.7 Typing quotes (")
results in a screen flicker and the cursor
disappearing. You must use the touchpad/mouse to reposition
the cursor and click, in order to get back your cursor and
be able to type (after an additional screen flicker) again.
Interestingly this is happening when you type <abc ">
but not <abc"> (without space).
In the first case they quotes show as curly quotes and in
the second as straight (Times New Roman font).
This is not happening in terminal or in Browse.
It is not lethal but very annoying nonetheless ...
I do not know if this is relevant but the Xorg logs
complain about failure to load module "freetype". I guess
the screen flicker is also suggestive of something Xorg
related.
I attache the Write, Xorg and olpc-dm-X logs in case
someone has a better idea.
Just to clarify that this strange behavior is only with the included Write activity.
