No cursor when background color is set to black

Using the current nightly build (CB_20070309_rev3681_Ubuntu6.xx.deb) on Linux, if you set the text editor background color to black, the text editing cursor is no longer visible. As such, the text editor is no longer usable.

This is NOT a bug. You have forgot to change the caret colour which is set to Black by default. As you've changed the editor background colour to Black, the caret got hidden due to same colour.

To change the colour of caret go to *Settings > Editor > Margins and caret* and then change the caret colour inside *Caret* section shown on the right.

This would solve your problem.

Oops, you're right. This is such a common bug with text editors/IDEs, I didn't see the caret color setting...

Sorry for the false alarm :)
