The text cursor shape is "global" property, in the sense that if you
change it in one vty, the cursor shape in the other vtys changes too.
When you run "vidcontrol -c destructive", you will have the "blinking
underline" cursor in ALL vtys. This has been so for a long time.
The escape sequence ESC[=nC invokes the normal/blink/destructive
cursor. This has effect in all vtys at once, just as "vidcontrol -c".
The escape sequence ESC[=n;mC sets the cursor height. syscons.c used
to change the cursor height in the current vty only. This was
considered a bug, because it is inconsistent with the way ESC[=nC
works, and corrected in 1.307 (around June 1999).
What you are now seeing is the correct and expected result. The
previous behavior was considered incorrect.
