Blue Cursor when typing

Is there any way of removing the blue cursor when typing after you have touched the screen. I know it allows easier navigating text you have written but someone i work with finds it very annoying if you catch the screen when typing. Can this be disabled. I have ploughed through the settings and cant find anything. Image attached of icon in question.

I don't remember with legacy devices how to remove the cursor, or even if it is possible. I know that on BB10 it is always there.

It appears to always be there. I cannot see any option that would remove it. Seems stupid, not allowing people to remove it. You can most other things.
