Hello,
Before a vim session, my xterm prompt cursor blinks
nicely :), as noted via the vt100 menu
(ctrl-middleMouse-"Enable Blinking Cursor") - checked.
As soon as vim in an xterm starts, the blinking stops.
After exiting the edit session, prompt cursor blinking
is off, confirmed by the vt100 menu item above, now
unchecked. Rechecking the item restores blinking.
In vim,
:set t_mb?
gives t_mb=^[[5m
Tried uncommenting all lines in my .vimrc, no luck.
root's vi 6.3.82 kills xterm's blinking as well.
Problem does not occur in either console or Konsole.
lynx (text base web browser) preserves blink in xterm,
mutt does not.
I am running Red Hat linux 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp, xterm
X.Org 6.8.2(192), and vim 7.0 with the following
compile time options:
