The flashing thing is called caret.
Use a search engine.

Thank you Sabine. My apologies for not finding the answer to that
alone, I promise I did try searching on google and the forums but
typed the wrong search parameters to be able to find the required
answer.

Sabine's helpful suggestion may guide you to other resources related to
this problme. For example, the cited fragment shows how to make the
caret invisible. Alternatively, you may want simply to preclude its
blinking, e.g.:

candidates.getCaret().setBlinkRate(0);

The insertion point is then less bothersome but still visible.
