Yes.

If the old bug has resurfaced, then it should be reproducible as
follows:

  * Fill the window up with text
  * Move the mouse pointer around in the window a bunch, making sure to
    cross over the text.
  * Notice that the cursor stops blinking and the terminal is otherwise
    unresponsive for a while.

If it's not reproducible in that way, then it's a different bug.
