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.

st - simple terminal
--------------------
st is a simple terminal emulator for X which sucks less.
Requirements
------------
In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.
Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if
necessary as root):
make clean install
Running st
----------
If you did not install st with make clean install, you must compile
the st terminfo entry with the following command:
tic -sx st.info
See the man page for additional details.
