Text Boxes With Black Background: Cursor Disappears

Post by brody-xr3 »

Hi,

If you create a text box with a black background the cursor becomes invisible.

What do you think is happening?

Seems like any text editing tools will have the same challenge with a black background page, too. Am I right?

Any work-arounds?

Sincerely,

BXR

Hello Brody,

Could you please show e what you see at your end because when I make a text box with a black background my text cursor becomes white, and I can see it clearly?

Regards.

Hello,

When you click onto a comment-text-box with a black background, and then you click onto its text, the mouse-pointer becomes a white insertion point ( I ), indeed, but you do not see the cursor anymore. By this, I mean the place where the characters are going to be inserted or deleted.

I have attached two images where you can see the difference between white and black, the cursor just after "Cursor " and the insertion mouse-pointer in the empty space of the text-box.

I hope this helps to better explain the problem.

Best regards.
