My build of suckless' st (the best x11 terminal)
f2bfd513b1
st currently does not keep any mode for the cursor that was active in the underlying glyph (e.g. italic text), the mode is always ATTR_NULL [1]. At [2] you can find a screenshot that shows the implications. Other terminals (at least vte-based, such as XFCE-terminal) keep some modes for the cursor. I find the current behaviour very disruptive, so here is a patch that keeps a few (arbitrarily chosen) modes for the cursor.
