Blinking cursor during text entry has a glitch / some extra pixels on the top right.

I have kept from commenting on this issue for the past couple of months because the team has been having much more serious bugs to iron out after the introduction of v7 compared to this very minor, cosmetic thingy.

I also thought that someone else would have noticed this so far, but searching for "cursor" in the forum posts does not return anything related, therefore I am creating this entry here.

Issue: In all areas where the user can input text on Zotero, the blinking cursor seems to have some glitch in the top right, some extra pixels or so. I am attaching a screenshot.

This is on the latest MacOS with the latest Zotero as of the time of writing and has been like that since the introduction of v7 (I am using Zotero on iPad and iPhone, and this issue is not present there).

Thanks to the team for all the great work!

You turned on "Enable bidirectional text editing utilities" in the Advanced pane of the settings. The line on the cursor shows the current direction.

Alright!
So it is a feature, not a bug.
I guess I clicked that checkbox without too much thought.

Thank you dstillman for the clarification!
