Title: gnome-terminal changes cursor color after terminal tab switch Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Using ANSI escape sequences you can change the cursor color from the command-line, like so: echo "ESC]12;rgb:8000/8000/8000^G"; Where 'ESC' and '^G' are the single characters: escape and control-g. After doing this when you switch tab and back again the cursor color will have changed to black. TEST CASE: 1. Open a gnome terminal 2. Open a second tab (CTRL+SHIFT+T) 3. On the first tab enter the following sequence on the prompt: $ echo "ESC]12;rgb:8000/8000/8000^G"; Where: ESC = CTRL+V CTRL+ESC ESC = CTRL+V CTRL+G => The cursor color will change to grey 4. Switch to the second tab then back to the first tab Result: The cursor color changes to black.
