Before invoking vim cursor blinks, during vim and after exiting cursor does not blink after exiting the ssh session the cursor still doesn't blink.

I'm not exactly sure which issue is tracking that vim doesn't turn the blinking cursor on again on exit, but it is mentioned here for instance: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10754#issuecomment-885185039

The artifacts when moving around is very worrying, but unfortunately I can't reproduce this when SSHing into Arch Linux and running a vanilla vim instance. (Yours seems to be customized?) Since I can't reproduce the issue I unfortunately can't fix it. 😓

Although, we do have a couple issues about tmux causing display corruptions (e.g. #6987). We aren't 100% sure what causes those either, but I feel like my ongoing efforts to simplify our rendering stack might fix those issues as a drive-by.

@darthpale Do those artifacts still occur for you?

I have the same problem but it happens even without sshing into a Linux host, it also happens in my case with Cygwin running locally: I load vim, the cursor stops blinking (no artifacts).
