Bug Description

the following control sequence doesn't work:

echo -e "Normal \e[5mBlink \e[25mNormal"

The above should display the word Normal as normal text and the word Blink should be blinking (this works in xterm correctly).

Other ANSI/VT100 Control sequences seems to work correctly (like colors, dim, bold, invert etc) in terminator. Here are working examples:

echo -e "Normal \e[1mBold"
echo -e "Normal \e[7minverted"
echo -e "Normal \e[7minverted \e[27mNormal"
echo -e "Default \e[31mRed"
echo -e "Normal \e[4mUnderlined"
echo -e "Default \e[44mBlue"

This is actually a vte issue, not something in Terminator itself and cannot be fixed within it's codebase. (It also doesn't work in gnome-terminal.)

Here's the original issue:
