Description

When the window isn't focused, Druid still renders a blinking cursor. I would inspect it to only be shown when the window is focused, like with other GUI libraries.

Research direction

Start by tracing the TextBox cursor rendering and how it receives window-focus state. Verify that an inactive window does not render the blinking cursor while a focused window continues to do so.
