Description

### Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.8.1444.0

### Other Software

_No response_

### Steps to reproduce

`settings.json`:
```
{
...
"profiles":
{
"defaults":
{
...
"cursorShape": "filledBox",
"unfocusedAppearance": {
"cursorShape": "emptyBox"
}
},
...
},
...
}
```

Open Windows Terminal and some other application (e.g. Explorer) and move to that application so that Windows Terminal is unfocused.

### Expected Behavior

Cursor changes to empty box.

### Actual Behavior

Cursor disappears which makes the setting useless.
