But Its not appearing if those specific conjuncts places alone ---- Not within any word. Creating problem only when those appearing within any word and followed by dependent vowels like Vowel sign AA (U+0B3E)(inscript 'e') and followed by any other GPOS. This is the observation result so far. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pango-1.17.5-1.fc8 Also present in downgraded version(seen upto pango-1.14.6-2.el5) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Blinking two cursors is actually a special feature and not a bug. When a conjunct comes in the middle of a word, and you try to use backspace on it, the following characters start getting combined due to the exposed 'halant'. This spoils the entire word and makes the user delete the entire word. To stop such a behavior for indic scripts, the two blinking cursor feature is implemented, so that even if the backspace is used on a conjunct between a word, it stops following characters from forming their conjucts and allows user to correct the later(erased) part of the conjunct. The current behavior that I see is exactly how it should be. Thus I think this bug should be closed with a resolution NOTABUG.
