Cursor Disapears

[mkarpoff]

• Your Windows build number:
  Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18252.1000]

• What you're doing and what's happening:
  Type into windows cmd. Cursor disappears and does not reappear. The same problem in WSL ubuntu so it's probably a console issue. (Powershell apears unaffected though). Also worth noting if cursor blink rate in Control Panel is set to any value then the cursor will appear after a long delay.

• What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
  The cursor should not disappear in the first place

I think this is MSFT:19163282. Oddly enough, I just started to look at this bug.

[mkarpoff]

Any way I can help let me know

[miniksa]

It's OK. Thanks.

I did a bisect and found where I messed this up. It was in pursuit of fixing a different cursor issue (cursor blocks being left behind in the buffer when it was scrolling).

I'm trying to come up with a different solution to the cursor blocks left behind on scroll that keeps it from disappearing in other circumstances.

I've just upgraded to 18262 and while it's better. The cursor takes a long time to redraw. It also sporadically disappears.

I believe we found the root of this issue and checked something in a few days ago to fix it, should be in Insiders in 3-4 weeks

[mkarpoff]

You lied to me. You said it would be fixed in 3-4 weeks.
Can confirm 18267 Bug is gone.

Ah, it appears I was wrong. The fix was checked into our branch on the 5th, and it managed to get up to insiders in a record 2.5 weeks.

Glad to hear it's fixed!
