Research direction

Start at src/cascadia/WpfTerminalTestNetCore/MainWindow.xaml.cs around line 101 and trace how the TerminalTheme CursorStyle value is applied. Reproduce the change from BlinkingBar to BlinkingBlock, then verify that the displayed cursor uses BlinkingBlock rather than remaining BlinkingBar.
