Text cursor misbehaving in Access text field, what causes this and how do I fix it?

Hi,
Access doesn't render the new default font Aptos (Detail) correctly.
George already mentioned the workaround. You have to choose a(ny) different font, e.g. Aptos Display (Header) which looks similar and doesn't have this problem.
edit: I forgot to mention the other workaround we found out in an AFo discussion last year: It also helps to simply change the font size from the default 11 point to any other size.

How strange that MS would choose a default font that one of their apps doesn't render correctly. But that was it, changing the font fixed the issue. I'm not 'font' of Aptos anyway.

Hi,
I reported this problem to Microsoft some months ago, but there were surprisingly few user reports about it. Now I've followed up because of your post, and there's at least a chance it will be fixed in the near future.
