Xterm.js: Cursor with blink turned on is lagging behind

[albinekb]

Details

• Browser and browser version: Electron 1.7.10 (chrome)
• OS version: macOS 10.13.2 (17C88)
• xterm.js version: 3.0.2

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a new terminal
2. Press enter a couple times
3. Press CMD+K (clear) when the cursor appears
4. The cursor will not move into position until after it goes black and comes back again

Demo:

I think that even tough blink is active, the cursor should still move like a non-blinking cursor. Maybe even reset the blink states to "SOLID" when the cursor moves?

Yeah this is a problem with the cursor I just never got around to, there are times when it needs to hide/refresh but doesn't atm. It also happens on scroll.
