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 this, as I suspect the power saved is so miniscule that it's completely neglectable compared to the severe issues removing the blinking causes with the usability. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/838381 Title: The cursor in active terminal window stops blinking after ten seconds.
