OSC 12 "set cursor color" not working, in atlas engine

[zadjii-msft]

    @DHowett @mattwojo sorry to dig this old thread up, but if I do a `printf %b '\e]12;red\a'`, should I expect the cursor color to change to red?  Using terminal preview version 1.16.2641.0, doing the above in wsl, I don't see the cursor color changing.  It retains the original color specified via the color theme in the settings.

Interestingly enough, if I lock my screen (Windows-L) and unlock it the cursor has then changed its color.

after locking and unlocking:

~I bet we don't do an invalidate of the screen.~

Nah I dunno what this is. We should move this over to the Terminal repo cause I see this too. Even with the rgb: specs too.

(from https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/terminal/issues/620)

Version number unknown.

printf '\e]12;red\a Foo bar' ; sleep 3
printf '\e]12;rgb:ff/00/00\a Foo bar' ; sleep 3

@echo off
if (%1)==() (goto :usage)
if (%2)==() (goto :usage)
if (%3)==() (goto :usage)

@rem this is a literal ESC and BEL in this next line
echo ]12;rgb:%1/%2/%3
goto :EOF

:usage
echo Usage: cursor-color ^<red^> ^<green^> ^<blue^>
echo     where red, green, blue are color components in hex
echo     Ex: cursor-color FF 00 FF will set the cursor to [38;2;255;0;255mMagenta[0m
echo:

:EOF

I can confirm that the cursor changes did seem to reappear after a lock/unlock of my machine! That makes me think there's still an invalidation issue. Maybe in the Atlas engine? IDK if @damnskippy was on 1.15 or 1.16

Thank you for picking this up @zadjii-msft, and I'm glad/relieved this is reproducible on your end locally. I don't know how to determine the version on Atlas Engine. If there's a command or something that can be run that will produce this, I'd be happy to do so if it's of use.

@damnskippy oh _ don't mean the "atlas engine version", I more just meant the Terminal version, which you can find in the About dialog. The Atlas engine was added in 1.16, but isn't in 1.15.

Oh, Terminal (Preview) version is 1.16.2641.0.
