Description inFlowia Lab. 2020-04-25 10:37:55 UTC 
SUMMARY
When I edit the text in the caption editor, I can’t see where the cursor is. It either does not appear, or is displayed in two places at once: in the previous and current places, or only its small part is displayed, and it almost never blinks at all. In short: some artifacts.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. double click on title clip
2. add some text with font "Oswald" or other
3. click in some plase inside text

OBSERVED RESULT
the above artifacts

EXPECTED RESULT
normal well distinguishable blinking cursor

Linux: Ubuntu Studio 19.10
