Originally created by @mguthaus on GitHub (Jul 22, 2020).

Environment

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.20170.1000]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.0.1811.0

Steps to reproduce

Add following to settings:
"cursorShape": "filledBox",
"cursorColor": "#FF0000",

Expected behavior

This should change the cursor to a red filled box.

Actual behavior

I closed the app and restarted for good measure, but it remains a white vertical bar. Other settings such as the colorScheme take effect properly.

I've confirmed that this also happens with a fresh install (and settings.json) using version Windows Terminal Preview
Version: 1.2.2022.0.

If it matters, I am using Ubuntu WSL as the terminal shell, but it also seems to not affect other shells.

Wow, this is really unexpected.

Can you share your whole settings file? Even on a clean install, I get this:

Ah! I thought this was a global parameter and not a per profile parameter. User error.
