[vim/vim] Vim 8.0.0918 make cursor blinks in urxvt (#1986)
Piotr Karbowski
The changes in commit 3cd43cc broke the cursor. Once one opens vim in urxvt, the cursor starts blinking, and blinks even outside vim. No option in vim or urxvt seems to affect it. Downgrade to 8.0.0917 fixes the problem.

What is the output of :set t_SH

E846: Key code not set: t_SH in working version
t_SH=^[[%p1%d q in the 8.0.0918

I am seeing the same issue in Debian Sid using
- rxvt-unicode 9.22-1+b3 (
TERM=rxvt-256color, butTERMdoes not seem to matter) - Vim 8.0.0946-1
An additional observation is that it does not seem to happen if I run Vim from within tmux (TERM=screen-256color, but it does not seem to matter here either). Within tmux, :set t_SH yields just t_SH=.
If I issue
:!printf '\033[?12l'
(from https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/3769) within Vim, then the blinking stops.
A curiosity: if I start Vim to make the cursor blink and then
- issue
:term - issue
:!printf '\033[?12l'in a regular buffer
the blinking does not stop. If I however instead
- issue
:term - issue
printf '\033[?12l'within the newly opened terminal (this step in itself does not stop the cursor blinking) - issue
:!printf '\033[?12l'in a regular buffer
the blinking does stop. This can be repeated within the same session: the cursor starts blinking again every time I issue :term.

I can reproduce this if I reset t_SI, t_SR and t_EI.
I'll have to request the cursor shape on startup, so that it can be
restored.

The fix has already been given with Patches 8.0.0967 and 8.0.0973 (93c92ef and ce1c327, respectively). Would you try 8.0.0973 or later to see if the issue is fixed for you?
Cursor is blinking even after its setting off with
:set guicursor+=a:blinkon0.
'guicursor' is used only when GUI is running, so it has no effect on the cursor of Vim on urxvt.

I can confirm that v8.0.0973 works as it should.
