mouse text selection cursor turned white on light themes

[ruffzzzy]

Type: Bug

I use windows with dark theme and vs code with light theme, and mouse text selection cursor turned white so i barely can see it. Tried different light themes - all them have the issue i mentioned. Switching windows to light or vs code to dark theme can temporary solve it/

Can confirm this issue. On light themes the text cursor turns white. A couple of clicks turns it back to black but it doesn't stay for long before turning white again.

Same issue here. Cursor keeps turning white on light themes. I'm using metherial theme light during the day for better visibility, although the cursor turns white and I can't see it, this is a terrible bug, that impact tremendously on productivity, if possible make this issue CRITICAL. Thanks!

I have the same issue, it's a pain trying to figure out where the cursor is...

[YSHebron]

I also have the same issue. It's also happening in my browser

[maartendekeizer]

Same issue in multiple light teams, dark teams are not affected.

[Kdcius]

Same here, windows on dark mode, VSCode on light theme and the cursor stay white on the light background.

[MFreit50]

Same issue, for some reason when moving around the vs code window the issue gets fixed temporarily. Seems like a graphics card issue

[clorch]

The same issue seems to be described in #204181 and #205512.

[korkis]

I changed from light theme to dark theme
