Sorry for the late reply.

In the original post, I was using the word cursor for two separate
things. I clearified this in the original post.

So by saying cursor, I meant a rectangular shape that blinks to indicate
where the text will be inserted.

e.g.

user$[]

the rectangle [] flashes periodcially in the normal circumstance.

Problem occurs after using the terminal for a while, editing texts, ssh,
etc.. (this happens very randomly, I have no clue what triggers it).
When I put my mouse cursor (pointy arrow that moves when I move my
mouse) to the tab area of the temrinal (usually there is a text box of
the form user@computer:cwd ...), then the rectangle "[]" mentioned above
start blinking rapidly.

Unfortunately I cannot make a video of this, as it happens very
randomly, and frankly, I don't know how to make a video while hiding my
user/computer name and cwd.

Thank you so much for the help!
