Cursor shape is rendered incorrectly when using multiple cursors

[sed-i]

Summary

I have a different cursor shape for insert and normal:

[editor.cursor-shape]
insert = "bar"
normal = "block"

but in multiple cursor mode the cursors are rendered incorrectly: in insert mode, only the last cursor is rendered as specified in the config.

Reproduction Steps

Set config to

[editor.cursor-shape]
insert = "bar"
normal = "block"

Edit a file with helix, and in normal mode, press C several times. Then press i to go into insert mode.

This is a terminal limitation. There is only one "real" cursor while the rest are pseudo-cursors we create with the caveat that we can't style them the same way.
