Description Piotr Karbowski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-08-17 18:04:24 UTC 
After upgrading from app-editors/vim-8.0.0386-r1 to app-editors/vim-8.0.0938 I noticed that the moment I start vim, the cursors starts blinking and stays blinking even outside of vim, regardless of settings of the terminal or the vim itself.

It does not happen however if I start them vim in xterm. After dowgrade to app-editors/vim-8.0.0386-r1 the issue is no more.

    patch 8.0.0918: cannot get terminal window cursor shape or attributes
    
    Problem:    Cannot get terminal window cursor shape or attributes.

I will poke upstream.

It seems like it was fixed upstream, https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/1986#issuecomment-323794546
Comment 3 Tim Harder gentoo-dev 2017-08-22 03:58:30 UTC 
Should be fixed in 8.0.0983 now in the tree.
Comment 4 Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-08-22 07:55:49 UTC 
Can confirm that it is fixed for me.
