Description Patrik Hagara 2017-08-21 11:22:37 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0
Build Identifier: 

I've got cursor blinking disabled in my terminal emulator (rxvt-unicode-256color-9.22-2.fc25.x86_64) and in vimrc too:

  let &guicursor = &guicursor . ",a:blinkon0"

The previous vim package version did correctly respect this setting and the cursor did not blink. After updating, cursor blinks and vim does not even reset the terminal settings upon exiting (ie. the cursor now blinks even after exiting to shell).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install the affected vim packages
2. open vim
3. try disabling cursor blinking `:set guicursor+=a:blinkon0`
Actual Results:  
Cursor blinks.


affected package versions:
vim-common.x86_64 2:8.0.946-1.fc25
vim-enhanced.x86_64 2:8.0.946-1.fc25
vim-filesystem.x86_64 2:8.0.946-1.fc25
vim-minimal.x86_64 2:8.0.946-1.fc25

old package versions unaffected by this bug, downgrading to these fixes the issue:
vim-common.x86_64 2:8.0.885-1.fc25
vim-enhanced.x86_64 2:8.0.885-1.fc25
vim-filesystem.x86_64 2:8.0.885-1.fc25
vim-minimal.x86_64 2:8.0.885-1.fc25

Hi Petr,

thank you for reporting this issue. This problem is reported to upstream as issue #1986.

Comment 2 Zdenek Dohnal 2017-08-22 12:03:12 UTC

Patrik,

would you mind trying this build https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=21390816 ? Cursor blinking in GVim should be fixed. FYI guicursor option influences only gui, which means GVim. Cursor blinking in Vim is defined by terminal settings (f.e. gnome-terminal).

Comment 3 Patrik Hagara 2017-08-22 12:18:58 UTC

Yes, that build fixes the problem. Thanks!

Cursor does not blink in vim and remains static even after quitting vim and returning to shell.

(I wasn't 100% sure whether the guicursor option really had no effect in terminal vim, so I decided to also include that bit of info.)
