Draw caret ourselves
Drawing caret ourselves helps solve a few issues: 1. With custom line height, the caret is no longer smaller than line 2. Cursor direction depends on the block content, not keyboard layout (bug 172630). Our own cursor will not draw the direction marker and thus will avoid this issue 3. Make cursor insertion point a few pixels larger vertically (bug 452853). You can just increase the line height and the caret will be bigger :) Technically, this is not exactly what is requested, but it works. Making Cursor visually larger than the line is _possible_ but it means that now we need to _always_ dirty 3 lines for repaint: current line, line above, line below which is a lot of uneeded work for such a small thing. So this will do. It is also more efficient than the Qt implementation as the work done in here is a lot less. BUG: 172630 BUG: 452853
