summary: If PuTTY starts without focus, the cursor does odd things.
class: bug: This is clearly an actual problem we want fixed.
difficulty: tricky: Needs many tuits.
priority: historic: This is an old bug report that we think is either fixed without noticing, or confined to old systems, or too vague.

If PuTTY starts up with its window unselected, something slightly
odd can happen with the cursor: it doesn't revert from box to block
when the window gains focus.

JTN, 2003-01-23: Possibly related: I've also noticed that if PuTTY
starts up without focus as a result of being run from `wf' (DoIt),
on Win2K, it doesn't get a taskbar entry until it received focus
(although it's visible on Alt-Tab).

SGT, 2024-11-17: classifying this bug as historic. It was last
reported in 2003, and mentions Win2k in particular.
