block cursor blinking during movement

[Jim Dunn]

I just updated to v9.0.981 and noticed a problem with the cursor "staying lit up" during movement.  Only VIM is affected, GVIM is fine.

Normally when you press "j" or "k" the cursor will be forced to the beginning of the BLINK ON sequence so that multiple presses of "j" will allow the cursor to be seen during each movement.

With 9.0.981 the block cursor keeps blinking off and on during movement, so multiple presses of "j" will cause you to "lose the cursor" before it blinks back on...

Hope I'm explaining this clearly enough.

REQUEST:  for VIM (GVIM is ok) the cursor should not blink during a movement.

I don't think any of the recent patches would have changed this.
Are you sure your setup hasn't changed? Ideally you can run an older
build of Vim to check.

One patch was a refactoring of the termcap entries. It should not have
made any difference, but perhaps there was a mistake. If you can compare
with an older version that doesn't have the problem, please run
"set termcap" in both and compare the output.
