Because fingerterm ignores the blink sequence.

Most terminal emulators seem to to ignore it and to be honest I think that's the right thing to do, because frankly it's just annoying.

If you want to highlight something in the terminal maybe you can try inverting colors instead. That should work nicely and is not quite as intrusive.

EDIT: I referenced the wrong code line, shame on me. Here is the correct one: https://github.com/nemomobile/fingerterm/blob/bdb2b7b41db874ee0ba59a9a9bfc3d302205adfe/terminal.cpp#L777-L782 As you can see it doesn't handle "5" which would be blink.
