Why does the cursor not appear in the TExtField

For ages now I have lived with the fact that the GUI.TextField doesn't show the cursor on the selected field but now the time has come for it to have tow rok right so I am hoping this is something simple to fix in my project directly. So, someone, please tell me what to do...

When the text field is empty or the cursor is at position 0 the cursor simply doesn't appear in the text field. Same with when I select the field with the mouse. Sometimes the cursor will show up, sometimes not. As I traverse through the text with the arrow keys, the cursor just vanishes... For example, right now my textfield shows "asfff" and by some miracle it is now actually showing the cursor at position 0 (i.e. in front of the "a") but it simply doesn't blink any more when I move it to position 1 or 3 ... WTF? Why??? Why does it blink at the start of the text and after "a" and after the second and third "f" but it just vanishes after "s" or the first "f" ???

I have my font set to Dynamic but tried it at Monospace also. Same issue. I tried creating a content offset of 5px on the x axis but still nothing. Adjusting the flickering speed also does nothing.

So what do I do? :(

Thanks
