Public bug reported: Normall, it works like this: When a terminal is focused its cursor is solid (and blinking). When a terminal is not focused, its cursor is an outline (and doesn't blink).
Sometimes (but increasingly more often in Oneiric than with older versions) I get the outline cursor even when my GNOME Terminal is focused. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open two windows on different workspaces: say, a browser on workspace 1, and a terminal on workspace 2 2. Focus the browser window 3. Trigger the Scale plugin for windows on all workspaces (<Super>W is the default keybinding for this, I believe) 4. Click on the terminal to focus it (and switch to workspace 2) Expected behavior: cursor in terminal is filled solid and blinking Actual behaviour: cursor in terminal is an empty, non-blinking outline. This does not appear to happen when the terminal is on the same workspace as the window I'm switching from. ** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890784 Title: Gnome-terminal continues to show outline cursor after getting focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/890784/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
