Qt Text Widgets - Changing text cursor position with mouse does not set cursor visible

When left clicking in a text field to move the text cursor, the cursor is not immediately made visible. If it was hidden due to its blinking pattern at the time of the mouse click, the text cursor will not be drawn at the new position until the blink timer toggles the cursor visible again.

The occasional delayed drawing of the text cursor makes the text fields feel unresponsive and different from native text fields.

This behavior can be seen in QLineEdit and QPlainTextEdit widgets and also in the Qt Creator code editor itself.
