Title:
  gnome-terminal changes cursor color after terminal tab switch

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.

  TEST CASE:
  1. Open a gnome terminal
  2. Open a second tab (CTRL+SHIFT+T)
  3. On the first tab enter the following sequence on the prompt:
   $ echo "ESC]12;rgb:8000/8000/8000^G";
  Where:
  ESC = CTRL+V CTRL+ESC
  ESC = CTRL+V CTRL+G
  => The cursor color will change to grey
  4. Switch to the second tab then back to the first tab

  Result:
  The cursor color changes to black.
