Description

Originally opened as https://github.com/flutter/engine/issues/1524
e.g. when it's not the active application, but is still running in the background. (You can see this by putting a print in markNeedsBuild when you have a focus text field.)
See also #1523.

See #955 for infrastructure which will make this much easier to do.
We probably should just have the cursor be ticked from a periodic timer that is marked as being only runnable while the app is in the foreground.

@Hixie added some hooks to the testing framework to catch things like this. Do we know if this is still an issue?

Pretty sure we fixed this, but we should figure out a way to test it. I'm not sure we have a test for it.
To see if it's fixed just put a print in the beginFrame logic, then run an app, get a blinking cursor, and hit the home button. See if you keep getting log messages.

I'm going to announce a policy that we shouldn't fine "add a test for..." bugs. Either add the test, or hope someone adds the test. But the bug isn't going to make the latter happen.
