Looks like the fix is in gtk+2.0, but will need backporting. The upstream commit is:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?id=d55b815 https://bug677329.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=321036&action=diff&collapsed=&context=patch&format=raw&headers=1 I think these are identical but have not checked. ** Also affects: gnome-terminal via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677329 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890784 Title: Gnome-terminal continues to show outline cursor after getting focus Status in GNOME Terminal: Unknown Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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.
