I've noted I seem to be relying on which editor(i.e. gvim) window in X11 has focus by noting that it has a blinking square cursor in the window at the cursor's current position in the edited text. If I move the windows cursor to another editor window in X11, the blinking cursor moves to the new window, but if I move it to a native window, the blinking doesn't stop. Has this always been this way?
