    Description

      After a call to ensureCursorVisible(), it can be hard to find where the cursor actually is, especially if it's an insertion point. It would be helpful to visually flash the cursor so it's more visible. Note that macOS does this when you do Jump To Selection in, e.g., TextEdit, but Qt does not; so doing this on macOS, at least, would be a matter of conformance to the platform standard. Maybe it would be nice to do it on all platforms, but it should at least happen on macOS.

      This bug was split out from QTBUG-83105, by request.
