Windows Terminal version

1.11.3471.0

Windows build number

10.0.19044.1503

Other Software

emacs nox build from master in WSL2
emacs msys2 package (for terminals)

Steps to reproduce

  • Start WT-WSL2: cursor is blinking
  • Start Emacs: cursor is blinking
  • Quit Emas: at WSL prompt the cursor is no longer blinking.

The same occurs running, in WT, Emacs from MSYS2 package.

NOTICE that THE SAME STEPS in MinTTY terminal (with or without WSL) produce a BLINKING cursor after quitting Emacs!.

I see there are similar issue flagged here but in my case the cursor stops blinking ONLY after QUITTING Emacs, not running a curser app...
