[Konsole-devel] Blinking trigger trigger assert

[Rodrigo Fernandes]

Greetings,

As stated in previous emails while perusing through the code I found one could 
trigger an assert:

ASSERT: "_allowBlinkingCursor" in file 
/home/c/Workbench/konsole/src/TerminalDisplay.cpp, line 1500

Steps to reproduce:
 
1. Edit current profile -> Advanced tab
2. Activate blinking cursor, hit apply
2. Deactivate the blinking cursor checkbox and while looking at cursor hit 
apply when cursor if "off"

If timed correctly we enter
TerminalDisplay::setBlinkingCursorEnabled (TerminalDisplay.cpp:1424) and hit a 
race condition in which blinkCursorEvent is called with _allowBlinkingCursor 
at true.

This is of no major consequences in release mode, but it would still be nice 
to make sure it the assert is accommodated for this situation

PS: While RealLife(TM) has managed to get in the way I still very much intent 
to add new functionality to konsole, namely local file filters. To get an idea 
of the release cycle where can I look for dates ( unfreeze, i18n freze, etc) ?

Thanks
