I recall mentioning that the cursor is not hidden once typing

That one has been shockingly hard to pin down. We have exactly
three reports of it. I saw it myself on one of my own systems, for
a single day, and have not been able to reproduce it since. There's
not a single line of code anywhere in Xcode where we hide the cursor
while typing—AppKit does that all automatically—yet it's never been
reported anywhere else. When the story of this bug is discovered
and told, it's going to be a good read.
FWIW, the cursor still does not hide for me in Xcode 3.0. Since the
above messages in Feb, 2007, I have replaced my hard drive, and done a
from-scratch install, with no migration assistance (I was trying to
rid myself of all sorts of little issues).
In case I didn't give you steps to reproduce it:
- Use the "condensed" view.
- Open a file for editing (I did this by double-clicking on one of the
files in my project).
- Click in it somewhere, and leave the pointer nearby.
- Start typing.
- Watch the I-beam cursor flash as it is hidden and immediately re-
displayed.
