[SOLVED] urxvt: invisible cursor

minami · 2010-10-05 12:36:18

Since weekend I experience strange behaviour with urxvt (i'm using rxvt-unicode-256color from community).
When writing to terminal, cursor is invisible, when pressing 'backspace', the cursor reappears until i press another
key. This affects all console applications running in this terminal. For example vim has unusable command mode
(deleted characters are visible, until new characters are typed, cursor invisible all the time).
It's like terminal does not know, that it has focus.

gnome-terminal is running fine

I'm don't remember any configuration I might have done to cause this behavior.

Anyone experiencing similar problem? Any tips to fix this?
my ~/.Xdefaults:

! ! use xft for drawing fonts
urxvt.font:            xft:Dina:size=9,xft:Monaco:size=9,xft:ProggyCleanTT:size=12,xft:profont:size=11,xft:terminus:size=10,xft:monospace:size=10
