Alacritty cursor always block (█)

I reinstalled Ubuntu (LTS) yesterday and now my cursor in Alacritty is always a block (█). It works fine in Neovim but whatever I do it stays the same in my normal shell.

I tried it in fish, bash, sh, etc. I installed Alacritty using ppa:aslatter/ppa (both times) but for some reason it changed. I tried reinstalling it multiple times but it still didnt work.

I want the cursor to be a pipe in insert mode and a block in vim mode.

Normal mode: | (the normal cursor)

Vim mode: █ (vim cursor)

cursor:
  style:
    shape: Beam
  vi_mode_style:
    shape: Block

Make sure you indent the vi_mode_style sub-section accordingly as above under cursor.
