Description

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open DrRacket
  2. Increase the font size a lot
  3. Open a new window
  4. Notice that the blinking cursor is the size it would be with the default font size, instead of the correct font size.
  5. Enter any text in the definitions window, and the cursor changes to the correct size.

Research direction

Reproduce this in DrRacket by increasing the font size, opening a new window, and checking the definitions window before entering text. Compare the cursor initialization in the new window with the update that occurs after text is entered; done means the cursor has the correct size immediately when the window opens.
