Comment (by jackburton):
I think the problem is here:
When the Terminal window is deactivated,
TermView::_Deactivate() gets called, and calls
TermView::SwitchCursorBlinking(false);
TermView::SwitchCursorBlinking() sets fCursorBlinking to false.
When the window is then activated again, TermView::_Activate() calls
TermView::SwitchCursorBlinking(fCursorBlinking), which is always false.
A quick fix would be changing TermView::_Activate() so that it checks the
preference value instead of the local variable:
PrefHandler::Default()->getBool(PREF_BLINK_CURSOR);
