cursor stops blinking on wsl2 after running top

[elsaco]

Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.11.2421.0

Other Software

• top, htop, tmux
• this bug was first reported by @georgewheatcroft issue cursor stops blinking on wsl2 after running top #11183

Steps to reproduce

• launch top and exit

Expected Behavior

• blinking cursor

Actual Behavior

• cursor not blinking anymore
• to recover "tput cvvis" command was used. This sets the cursor again to very visible (a.k.a blinking)

If setting "TERM=linux" from "TERM=xterm-256color" as suggested in #11183 a lot of functionality is being lost. Here's a comparison of both terminal profiles, notice all the NULL entries for "TERM=linux":
