konsole focused

Hi,
this is happening in konsole on fedora34/X11 (see attached screenshot)

If i use Ctrl-R to access the command history in bash, and start typing, then the cursor has a one-pixel line on the very top in the alternate color (i have a white background, a block cursor, and the singel-pixel line is black then)
see: shell_focus.png

When leaving the focus of kconsole to another window, you can clearly see that this is indeed some 'single-pixel outer frame' around the cursor
see: shell_unfocused.png

The only thing i am worried about is the 'roof-like' line above the cursor in focused mode, which i find very annoying.
Can this be fixed somehow?

What scale settings are you using?
Comment 3 Ahmad Samir 2021-08-02 22:45:46 UTC
I think that is normal behaviour; the cursor shape is a solid/filled block, when the tab is un-focused it becomes an outline of a block (the inverse of what it was); when if the cursor is selected, the colour are inverted, and in an un-focused tab the it's inverted again (so inverting the inverted colours....).

I hope that makes sense.

I still use only fonts-scaling (here: 138%) and no global scaling (display-configuration, global scale is 100%)
The single pixel 'defect' is actually the only thing i noticed being visually distorted.

Maybe we can switch this feature off?
In fc33, the backwards-search did not highlight the keyed-in characters, this seems new in konsole on fc34.
Is there a switch for this highlighting somewhere?
