@lhecker commented on GitHub (Sep 14, 2022):

I'm not exactly sure which issue is tracking that vim doesn't turn the blinking cursor on again on exit, but it is mentioned here for instance: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10754#issuecomment-885185039

The artifacts when moving around is very worrying, but unfortunately I can't reproduce this when SSHing into Arch Linux and running a vanilla vim instance. (Yours seems to be customized?)
Since I can't reproduce the issue I unfortunately can't fix it. 😓

Although, we do have a couple issues about tmux causing display corruptions (e.g. #6987). We aren't 100% sure what causes those either, but I feel like my ongoing efforts to simplify our rendering stack might fix those issues as a drive-by.

I have the same problem but it happens even without sshing into a Linux host, it also happens in my case with Cygwin running locally: I load vim, the cursor stops blinking (no artifacts).
