OK. After a quick investigation, the reason I missed it is because it's working on simulator, and working when a menu containing an animation is present. I must have been in one of these cases all the time.

My recent efforts at rewording many of the menus so that there would be no animation (to improve battery life) have made the problem more prevalent. I will investigate.

After seeing this comment regarding animations, it occurred to me that maybe enabling the seconds display on the status bar might trigger better blinky behavior, and I can confirm that it does - at least at first. If you leave it alone while there is an active command line present, it blinks about once per second at first, but then transitions to once every 3 seconds or so. Then after a bit longer, it just stops blinking entirely (and the seconds stops updating on the status bar).

I normally don't care to include the seconds in the status bar because it seems like overkill on a calculator and it probably uses a little extra battery juice over the long term.
