Taking a second look at my workaround, I realize now that the "Settings
Editor" is actually xfce4-settings-editor so this presumably only
applies to Xubuntu or a system which otherwise has xfce as the desktop
environment.

I thought I would add the workaround I found which applies to Xubuntu
18.04 but possibly others:
To make the cursor keep blinking in GTK-based applications (which
includes gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal, gedit, pidgin and many others):
1. Open Settings Editor from the Settings menu.
2. Select the
I have to agree % with @Olli Kankare.
"To save energy" is so ridiculous that is hilarious!
A simple blinking cursor that suddenly just stops for no reason, looks
like the system has CRASHED!! This is even more important when you deal
with the system's TERMINAL!
Anywhere else the cursor k
I'd like to report that the workaround suggested in comment #8 has no
effect in Xubuntu 18.04. It seems the native xfce4-terminal is also
affected. I thought I'd solve the issue by switching to a terminal that
isn't built on GTK so I installed Eterm, only to learn that not only
does the cursor not
Just came along another bug (1096810) which reminded me of the workaround for
this one.
Install dconf-tools, run dconf-editor, go to org.gnome.desktop.interface,
adjust cursor-blink-timeout as preferred.

I agree, many times the blinking cursor is just what is needed to
indicate that the focused terminal is working as intended or for example
a connection to a server is live.
Removing the blinking makes simple monitoring of the focused terminal
impossible.
Upstream should rethink their position on
I've found energy saving as argument at this point kind of absurd, refraining
from negative list of apps, servers, cars ... , questioning the impact it seems
rather a political than usability argument.
I'd expect to visualize if a terminal window has focus or not, without a
blinking cursor there
It's nothing I can't live with, but as stated in the original bug description,
it's somewhat annoying when you don't realize that it's supposed to do that.
Imho it deters users with more experience from upgrading.
The action should be some kind of extra power saving option and not on by
default.
Since it's no show-stopper wondering if it's a papercut or wishlist.
Olli, any feedback on this?

Comment from developer:
That's normal. The cursor stops to blink after a timeout, in order to save
