Putty cursor thinks it's not in focus

Not a "problem" per se, but:

Recently, the input cursor in my Putty session tabs has turned into an empty block, instead of a filled block, which normally indicates that the Putty window is not currently in focus.

However, it clearly is, I'm typing in it. ;-)

It changes to a filled block if I click my mouse inside the tab and stays that way for as long as I hold the mouse button, but as soon as I release the mouse button, the cursor returns to the empty block.


Is this related to the external application integration rewrite that was in 6.1?

I'm using version 6.1.50420.

Thanks for the confirmation!

You're right. I didn't notice because I usually don't use the block style. It looks like this is a side effect related to the re-parenting of the external window we do. Looks like there's not much we can do, sorry!

Alrighty, thanks for the quick reply!

can you please fix the empty block cursor problem in putty? it is ultimately disturbing!

i understand that it is a side effect related to the re-parenting of the external window. but in v5.2.6 everything works find and i can't see any difference regarding the windows.

that sounds like an excuse to me
