Hi Nicholas,
I've been playing around with various escape code using echo -ne and here
are my observations:
1. The CORRECT mintty escape code to reset cursor style back to the default
vertical line is: '\e[0 q'. Tmux is swallowing this specific escape
sequence, and not passing it on to the terminal. If I DCS \ePtmux;...\e\\
escape this sequence, then the terminal temporarily resets the cursor to
the vertical line, but since tmux doesn't track DCS escaped codes,
switching back to this pane/window changes the cursor back to the previous
style, e.g: block cursor \e[1 q. The underscore mintty cursor escape (\e[3
q) is being relayed and stored. Only the '\e[0 q' sequence isn't relayed to
the underlying terminal. Any reason for this?
2. How can I set the default cursor escape code for panes/windows? The
initial cursor style is the the same as the (non-tmux) terminal that starts
tmux. For example, in my non-tmux terminal if I change cursor to blinking
underscore (\e[3 q), and then launch tmux--all new created panes will have
the underscore cursor. However, as soon as I change any pane's cursor (e.g:
echo -ne "\e[1 q"), then the cursor is changed to a non-blinking block
(\e[2 q) for ALL other panes. Where is this \e[2 q coming from? Where can I
change it? I tried setting my terminal-overrides, but the tmux server dies
after a cursor echo escape code no matter what I put in there--even with
the verbatim copy of the default terminal-override.
3. Upon exiting tmux, the launching terminal cursor also changes to
non-blinking block (\e[2 q). I'm assuming that fixing the previous issue
will fix this one too.
MY CONFIG:
Typical tmux.conf (90% from tmux by Brian Hogan):

I am NOT setting any terminal-overrides in tmux.conf. However, this is the
output of the default terminal-overrides:
$ tmux show-options -g terminal-overrides
