I use Ubuntu GNU/Linux for several years and this bug, or whatever you call it, never goes away. This is really annoying and sad.

Gnome have accepted this change was a mistake. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342921 which I've just link this bug too.

I just signed up on launchpad to note my disapproval for this change in gnome-terminal. There's lots of things I've wanted to do a launchpad but, this was the last straw. Having to disable *ALL* cursor blinking for the sake of only gnome-terminal seems silly. After being an option for so long.. why change it now? Is it *really* making gnome more simple? No. I also think this setting is obfuscated being located in keyboard settings (what is this.. KDE? :-P).

[Bug 188732] Re: Blinking cursor can not be deactivated anymore
I understand this is a Gnome change, but they've applied logic a step too far. There's a big physical difference between a one-pixel-wide cursor used in Gtk+ text areas, etc., and a one-character-filled- rectangle used by gnome-terminal. The former I want to blink because it can be hard to spot. The latter is easy to spot and its blinking is a distraction, just like animated ads or blink text on a web page; and we block those! I see why it was set to Invalid, this isn't a bug but a `feature' imposed by Gnome. But it is a bug because they made it based on them both being `cursors' without regard for their different physical appearance, so I'm setting this bug to Confirmed. There seems to be a considerable body of people that had the two cursors with different blink settings. ** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = Confirmed -- Blinking cursor can not be deactivated anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188732 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Me too! Cursors SHOULD normally blink in my opinion, it's just that in the terminal the cursor is a large block which is really annoying when it blinks all the time. The rather large response in favour of a non- blinking cursor at the referenced bug makes me a bit mad at the people who pushed this change through.
