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.

Have you tried different fonts, both proportional and non-proportional?
Years ago, back around 2004 when I wrote my first book, I remember having a similar problem with one font. I found that switching to a different, more mainstream font, resolved the problem.
Not saying that's the case here, but it is worth experimenting.
Thanks!
