I see the below bug in a new 23 branch build.

The cursor appears stuck (but flickering) when holding C-b in viper (expert 5) insert mode.

> When I enter M-x viper-mode, and then enter <I>nsert mode in level 5 ("expert" mode: viper-expert-level '5), then motion commands like (C-b, C-f) do not swiftly move me through the text.  Instead, when I depress that sequence, I see the cursor toggling between red and green.  Presumably, the Emacs motion characters, when enabled within Viper <I>nsert mode, actually temporarily switch over to Emacs mode to execute.  That's only a guess.  But what I do notice is that instead of the cursor moving 25 to 30 characters to the left or right per second, there is a slowdown by a factor of five.  And the toggling colour is distracting.

I can't reproduce this on either the branch or Emacs 23.1.  It may be
NS-only.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got little response at
the time.)

Are you still seeing this issue in more recent Emacs versions?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
