1635680 - No option to disable blinking cursor in Mozregression GUI for Mac

Status: NEW

(Testing :: mozregression, defect)

Description

[MarjaE]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:76.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/76.0

Steps to reproduce:

I am trying to use Mozregression to help diagnose a bug.

Actual results:

It's hard to select dates in the Gui because of the blinking cursor and the surrounding blind spot. There is no system-wide way to block blinking cursors, and nothing in the preferences.

Expected results:

It should be possible to block blinking cursors, either with an app setting or using prefers-reduced-motion.

Is the date picker dropdown not usable for you, for some reason? Just trying to understand the problem.

Comment 4

[MarjaE]

I can't see what date I've selected, because there's a blinking cursor.

:MarjaE -- are you able to check if this is still an issue with the latest version (5.6.0) and if so, can you include a screenshot showing the issue? I do not have access to an older macOS. I am running 13.4, which may have different behaviour than the version you are running). Thanks!

The latest version quits the moment it starts, without giving any specific error. I can;t fid the version number, because it doesn't stay open to check.

The latest Mac version seems to be 5.4.0.

Something broke after I tried to run it, and now I can't get 5.3.3 or 5.3.2 to work either.

Trying 5.4.0 again, Console indicates a string of errors and ultimately:

And 5.3.3 again:
