After recent sublime text update cursor is extra tall and doesnt blink

Question

My cursor height is stuck at what appears to be the max height of the line and its padding/margin, nor does it blink anymore. Screenshot. What settings should I look at to get this sorted out?

Answer 1

Search in the left side of the Settings window for caret. That should get you to the right group of settings. I have the following set:

// These settings control the size of the caret
"caret_extra_bottom": 0,
"caret_extra_top": 0,
"caret_extra_width": 0,

// Valid values are "smooth", "phase", "blink" and "solid". Previous
// versions of Sublime Text used "smooth" by default.
"caret_style": "smooth"

and it looks pretty similar to ST3.

The defaults for ST3 are 2 and 2 for the extra top/bottom, but both are 4 in ST~~4~~ to make the cursor more visible with caret_style changing to solid; this is of course down to personal preference. – Incantatory

I think default was 0 1 1 and smooth. – Homocyclic
