Block cursors already convert to a hollow outline when unfocused, but bar and underline were missing this treatment. ## How Added unfocused guards for `Beam` and `Underline` in the cursor shape match in `terminal_element.rs`, converting them to `Hollow` when the terminal loses focus. This follows the same pattern already used for `Block`. ## Why this approach A hollow block outline is the clearest unfocused signal and stays consistent with the existing Block behavior. Alternative approaches like dimming opacity or drawing outlined versions of bar/underline were considered, but a 2px-wide outlined bar would be nearly invisible at normal font sizes. ## Demo: Before: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/81d49899-0837-42fe-a68f-4eb745892af6 After: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a4444e28-5835-4c9f-872f-e9ce8c4805a0 Closes #52716 Release Notes: - Fixed terminal bar and underline cursors set via escape sequences not visually distinguishing between focused and unfocused states
