Cursor Shape not changing

I have a problem changing the cursor shape of termite.

The one of the left is the config. As you can see, the cursor_shape is set to underline. However, the one on the right which i reloaded using CTRL + Shift + r to reload the configs, the cursor shape stays the same. Any ideas what might caused the problem?

Cursor shape don't seem to change following a config reload, CTRL + Shift + r or killall -USR1 termite.
Opening a new terminal give you the correct cursor shape.

You can also change it directly from your prompt:

echo -ne "\e[3 q"

Hello. I just realized that fish shell has its own cursor mode which defaults to block during Vim-mode
set fish_vi_key_bindings
and when i revert back to set fish_default_key_bindings, the cursor shape changed according to the config of termite.
Vi-mode bindings of fish also affects other terminal emulators as well. I just learnt it by reading when experimenting it. Sorry for the inconvenience. Termite is working now.
