Google Docs Blinking Cursor "kix-cursor-caret"

I love google docs but I find a blinking cursor very distracting. The new version of google docs doesn't obey the operating system setting for displaying a solid (non-blinking) cursor.

I see that the cursor is really just a div of class "kix-cursor-caret" where the display property is just from "none" to "inline" on some sort of javascript timer somewhere that causes the cursor to appear to blink.

Does anybody have any idea which javascript line/command is causing the css property to be changed and displaying the blinking. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Currently, this works for me with Stylebot in Chrome:

.kix-cursor {
  -webkit-animation-iteration-count: 0;
}

Looks like this can actually be solved with CSS. This rule worked for me:

.kix-cursor-caret: inline !important;

I suppose you could add this to some kind of user stylesheet, but I've actually never made one before.
