  • Blink attribute doesn't clear (get disabled) once set in Qmodem termin

    From Rob Swindell@VERT to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Wednesday, May 28, 2025 22:54:59

    This is new behavior in Synchronet v3.21 (new terminal abstraction):

    When using Qmodem 4.6, when connected to Synchronet, once the blink attribute is enabled by the BBS, it never gets disabled in the terminal. e.g. setting "console.attributes = 7" in JS or parsing a Ctrl-AN in a display file/string doesn't disable the blink attribute in the client. I don't see this difference in behavior between Synchronet v3.20 and v3.21 when using other terminals (e.g. SyncTERM).

    I see the same issue when using Telemate version 4.20.

    You can test Synchronet v3.20 at bbs.synchro.net and v3.21 at vert.synchro.net and cvs.synchro.net to observe the differences in behavior.
