Originally created by @dkter on GitHub (Jun 30, 2019).

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.175
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Issue appears starting with commit ab08320dde

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Windows Terminal
  2. Switch focus to another window

Expected behavior

The cursor stops blinking and turns off, as it did before.

Actual behavior

The cursor continues to blink.

I tested before and after ab08320dde and it seems like the issue started with that commit.

@angelog0 commented on GitHub (Jul 1, 2019):

I use the box cursor (filledBox) and when the focus is lost it disappears completely. On other terminals (MinTTY, iTerm2, for example), and in Emacs, when the focus is lost, the cursor becomes an empty box (not filled rectangle).

I think that Windows Terminal should have the same behavior...

The issue only happens with showTabsInTitlebar on. Cursor shape doesn't seem to affect it.

TermControl::_LostFocusHandler is not called when the window loses focus, but is called when the tab loses focus and the window stays in focus.

@dkter commented on GitHub (Jul 1, 2019): `TermControl::_LostFocusHandler` is not called when the window loses focus, but *is* called when the tab loses focus and the window stays in focus.

It seems this issue was inadvertently fixed at some point, so I'm closing it.
