It's correct on 12.10.

This is the version of terminator on my system:

marwan@host:~$ terminator --version
terminator 0.96

Actually, I had installed terminator out of frustration with this bug almost a 
month ago, and it hasn't shown any sign for this issue since then. That's why I 
stayed with it.

May be you're using a version less than 0.96 where this issued apparently got 
fixed.

Title:
  Gnome-terminal continues to show outline cursor after getting focus

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

Bug description:
  Normall, it works like this: When a terminal is focused its cursor is
  solid (and blinking).  When a terminal is not focused, its cursor is
  an outline (and doesn't blink).

  Sometimes (but increasingly more often in Oneiric than with older
  versions) I get the outline cursor even when my GNOME Terminal is
  focused.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Open two windows on different workspaces: say, a browser on workspace 1, 
and a terminal on workspace 2
  2. Focus the browser window
  3. Trigger the Scale plugin for windows on all workspaces (<Super>W is the 
default keybinding for this, I believe)
  4. Click on the terminal to focus it (and switch to workspace 2)

  Expected behavior: cursor in terminal is filled solid and blinking

  Actual behaviour: cursor in terminal is an empty, non-blinking
  outline.

  This does not appear to happen when the terminal is on the same
  workspace as the window I'm switching from.
