Cursor shape should change to let you notice you're in Insert or Overwrite cursor mode.

Actual Behavior

Cursor shape stays always the same.

The blocking issue for this is #7382. We need to pass on the request for the overwrite-mode cursor via conpty, which requires an equivalent escape sequence for the half-height block cursor, but there isn't a standard way to achieve that.

It's also worth noting that this particular cursor change is achieved with an internal SetCursorDBMode call, which toggles the "double cursor" mode, independent of the actual cursor size - it's not using the public SetConsoleCursorInfo API. So that's something we need to bear in mind if we want to get this working in conpty.

Thanks for filing. We're going to mark this as a /dup of #7382
