Originally created by @jmdfm on GitHub (Oct 18, 2019).

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18999.1
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Version: 0.5.2762.0

Steps to reproduce

Start Windows Terminal in Ubuntu 18.04. Install Vim. Start Vim. Type a sentence then move the cursor over a letter. See that the letter is obscured.

Expected behavior

I'd expect the text underneath the cursor to be inverse of the cursor, or something that isn't the same as the cursor color making it invisible. I've tried almost every Vim setting for changing cursor color etc but it has no effect. Changing the cursorColor in the profile has no effect.

Running the same test in Fluent Terminal (while having a blinking cursor by default) does the right thing.

Actual behavior

The cursor obscures the text underneath it:

I believe this is duplicate of #1203. I can't blame you for not finding this issue, though. For heaven's sake, it took me like 10 minutes to find it, even I clearly know it it there.

Ah yeah! I did search for a good while as well and didn't find that. Will close this issue.

Possible workaround: Use the KDE Konsole via X11.
