Is it possible overflow of the counter returned by TICKS ? What is the maximum value returned by TICKS ?

Hello,
32 Bits, so, it will overflow every 49 days or so.
Most of the Prime SW uses ticks internally in a differential manner, and has been hardened against ticks overflow, so it is not a problem.
At most, at the overflow time, you might see the cursor having an off blink.
