The insertion cursor in text boxes is white-on-white and impossible to see

12 May 2023, 17:42

Anywhere that there is a text box on this forum, such as the "subject", "body", or "search box", the text insertion cursor (the vertical bar that my mouse cursor changes to in text boxes) changes from black to white. However, all of these text boxes have white backgrounds. So whenever I want to reposition the blinking text cursor with my mouse, I'm unable to see where it is.

Can't reproduce. In the default theme 'Simplicity' and in the other bright theme 'prosilver', I see black cursors.
In the dark theme 'Digi', I see a white one. I checked in Firefox and Edge.
Perhaps a browser issue? Did you try to restart? Or perhaps some plugin making problems.

I tried to make a screen recording, but it records the cursor just fine. I found that it has to do with switching to a new tab and then back. Starting a new topic without changing tabs does not cause the issue. I have this problem in Microsoft Edge. I am running Windows 10 x64.
