When hovering the mouse cursor over a text input widget of an unfocused window, the text input cursor will start blinking in that widget when the Unclutter timeout expires. The window does not receive focus; key presses do not go to the window.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Run unclutter
2. Open two Terminal windows.
3. Click one of them.
4. Hover the mouse cursor over the other Terminal until the unclutter timeout expires (5 s default).
Expected result:
1. The mouse cursor disappears.
Actual result:
1. The mouse cursor disappears.
2. The text input cursor starts blinking in the unfocused Terminal; the unfocused Terminal remains unfocused. The text input cursor also keeps blinking in the focused Terminal, i.e., two text input cursor are now blinking, but key presses only go the the focused one.
