Description kdebugs 2014-06-16 09:13:46 UTC 
If you aren't scrolled to the very bottom of the window, the cursor will not blink.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Konsole
2. If it isn't already, set your cursor to blink (Settings, Edit, Advanced, Blinking cursor)
3. Enter "clear"
4. Scroll up a little (cursor still in view).

Actual Results:  
Cursor stops blinking until you scroll back down or start typing.  If the cursor is "on" when you scroll, it will stay visible; if it is "off" it will be invisible.

Expected Results:  
Cursor should keep blinking as long as it is the input target.

TerminalDisplay::imageToWidget() doesn't take scroll position into account.

If you've tracked down the cause, could you at least mark this CONFIRMED?

It's still a problem on 16.04.2

confirmed if not a minor cosmetic issue
Comment 5 Justin Zobel 2020-10-29 06:41:13 UTC 
Still occurring on git master. Not sure it's a bug, more of a feature request so I'm setting it to wishlist.
