Bug Report: Cursor Shape setting is not persistent and reverts to legacy style

[fgimian]

Environment

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.116]

Steps to reproduce

1. Right click on a console window and select Properties / Terminal
2. Set the Cursor Shape to anything other than "Use Legacy Style"
3. Notice that the cursor shows up correctly but after hitting enter and typing a few characters, it returns to the default style
4. Repeat step 1 and notice that your setting has been reverted

Expected behavior

The new cursor shape should continue to work in the terminal and stay ticked in Properties.

Actual behavior

Step by step screenshots:

We start with a normal PowerShell window:

Change cursor to vertical:

Vertical cursor shows up, yay:

Hit Enter and type some text, then notice the cursor changes back to the default:

Popping back into Properties reveals our selection has been reverted too;

Yeah, unfortunately PSReadline resets the cursor style constantly, mid-way through the line and everything.

We'll follow up with PSReadline and link the bug here. Thanks for the detailed report.

Thank you so much @DHowett-MSFT, yeah it seems really broken at the moment.

Really appreciate your help!
