I thought I would add the workaround I found which applies to Xubuntu 18.04 but possibly others:
To make the cursor keep blinking in GTK-based applications (which includes gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal, gedit, pidgin and many others): 1. Open Settings Editor from the Settings menu. 2. Select the xsettings "channel" on the left side of the interface. 3. Click New. 4. The name of the property needs to be /Gtk/CursorBlinkTimeout 5. Set it to be an integer property. 6. Specify a very large number (but less than 2 billion). 7. Click Save Here's hoping the GNOME group somehow ceases to exist in the near future. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/838381 Title: The cursor in active terminal window stops blinking after ten seconds.
