[Bug 842730] [NEW] gnome-terminal changes cursor color after terminal tab switch

 

Public bug reported:

Using ANSI escape sequences you can change the cursor color from the command-line, like so:
        echo "ESC]12;rgb:8000/8000/8000^G";
Where 'ESC' and '^G' are the single characters: escape and control-g. After doing this when you switch tab and back again the cursor color will have changed to black.
