Caret in UI Builder Text Field with high Reference DPI does not always appear when typing

Jun 10, 2022

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached “1386658.zip” project
2. Open the “SampleScene” Scene
3. Enter Play Mode
4. Type a few characters into the Text Field

Expected result: Caret is always visible when typing
Actual result: Caret is either always invisible or disappears and appears while writing

Reproduced with: 1.0.0-preview.18 (2021.1.28f1), 1.0.0 (2021.2.7f1, 2022.1.0b2)
Could not test with: 2019.4.30f1 (UI Builder is not introduced yet), 2020.3.25f1 (UI Document component is blank in the Inspector)

Notes:
- The caret seems to change the width every few characters

Workaround:
- In Panel Settings decrease the Reference DPI until the caret is seen

I'm seeing the same bug on 2022.1.8f1.3359.

The bug does not appear only in the UI Builder, it also affects standalone builds, which is a blocking issue for using 2022.1 on production.
