Is it possible to add an option to disable blinking text?

    --bl option (or $ mlcc bl_color xxx) which sets alternate color to blinking characters disables blinking.

    But it disabled blinking but didn't set alternate color. Following commit fixes it.

    Could you please give an example of value for bl_color — I tried differrent values but it didn't disable blinking =(

    For example, doesn't --bl=red disable blinking ?

    What happens if you execute as follows ?
    $ echo -e "\x1b[5maaaa\x1b[m"
    aaaa <= blinking
    $ mlcc bl_color red
    $ echo -e "\x1b[5maaaa\x1b[m"
    aaaa <= Not blinking

    Oh, my. This was not about mlterm. It's about this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1648170
    Apologies for the noise — I recently switched to newer version of the distro I use and at first glance I thought it was mlterm that sort of misbehaved but eventually mlterm is fine =) Thanks for the help finding the culprit =)
