color problem cursore your testom

Good morning in the multiline text editing window I find a background on the white and a cursor placed on the practically invisible text because of the same color. so I can never understand where the text is to correct or insert new text.
in the image that I attach the cursor is between the "r" and the "o" but being white with that background is practically invisible.

How can I solve this?
 
changing the background color of the textm editor?
guide autocad
I'm sorry, but I just can't figure out how to do this.
with the background mask I do not solve the problem, where I can change the visible background in the only editor window, because on the design I do not want any background on the text

but what does the background mask have to do to cover the entities below the text; read to the bottom, you will find "show background - if selected shows the background of the editor"

Yes, I can show it or not show it, but is it not possible to change its color?
 
place the mouse inside the data frame (the space in which you will write) and right click. a menu will appear with the item "background mask" and click it.
in the window that appears activates the "use background mask" box and choose the color you want to give to the background

as not said, the remedy I indicated does not work. I see if in general options you can change color to the background
 
Therefore, by remaking the procedure I indicated before, if you choose the option "use background color of the design, the background mask of the multiline text will become of the same color of the background of the design.
having you design background in gray, you should see the text slider
you probably have the text cursor set on white.

in my autocad multiline text background mask is set to take the same color as the design background and I have no problems

in the meantime a thousand thanks for the answer!"
I tried to follow your suggestion, but not known relevant differences in setting not to show the background in the text editor.
and the problem we say remains, perhaps a little less but practically no longer see the mouse cursor when I enter the text box.
you say I have the text cursor set on white, so is there a way to change the color of the cursor?
 
I do not find the option that allows you to change color to the text cursor.
probably, but it's just my guess, it's likely that both the operating system that takes the color of the text slider and that autocad can't. but I repeat it is only my hypothesis.
in any case it is a matter of making the white background disappear in the box where you type the text.
white on white... It's normal you don't see.

place the screenshot of my autocad. I also have the cursor white text (the double bar t after the word cursor). But with the color of the gray background, the white of the slider doesn't make me any trouble.
I would change the color of the design background by bringing it to a darker gray, so the white of that slider stands out better.
of course should be set the option "use color of design background" as described above

I think the problem is that by necessity I had to disable the hardware acceleration because leaving it active I have problems with the zoom that makes me the file slow or even disappears the design as soon as I change the zoom.
because with the hardware acceleration activated the problem does not arise anymore, but cannot activate it between the two evils I know it is my duty to keep the text so.
a thousand thanks for availability
 
I think I have to keep the text like this.
It would be enough to remove the matte background as previously mentioned.
but what does the background mask have to do to cover the entities below the text; read to the bottom, you will find "show background - if selected shows the background of the editor"
to which you answered
Yes, I can show it or not show it, but is it not possible to change its color?
because not pursuing the easiest way for me remains a mystery

simply because, as I have already said, removing the background becomes invisible the mouse pointer once entered the text box, as it is evident in the enclosed image where the cursor is placed on the r and where you see on the letter "r", the white line, and invisible in the background, that is why my request to change the color of the background

so if you have the background, light gray in the first post, the cursor is not seen, if you do not have the background and see the color of the work area, slightly darker gray, the cursor is not seen.
the thing is obviously not possible if the cursor has a fixed color.
try to change background of the work area using various colors and look what happens... from my tests the cursor adapts always setting on a contrast color

no, in the first case with background the mouse cursor is seen but you do not see the flashing cursor placed on the text.
in the second case without background the mouse cursor is not seen but you see, better, the flashing cursor placed on the text.
If I put the black background for example the problem disappears and you see well both the mouse cursor and the flashing cursor placed on the text.
I believe that the problem is hardware acceleration because activating the problem disappears, but because of the problems on sayings that its activation creates me I cannot activate it. and the work screen if I make the darker gray makes me white lines instead of black and I get tired of the eye (already tried to work on it)
 
I don't know what's going on. However to bypass the problem when you need to place the flashing cursor selects all the text (ctrl+a) so as to differentiate it from any other color (the background of the selection can be set at will (always from the menu where you remove the matt background select the last item)

Thank you, I will try to follow your advice
 
I think the problem is hardware acceleration because activating the problem disappears
then it is necessary to descend to some compromise, like the color of the very dark background. or even do without the multiline text, where doing so does not involve too much work in the arrangement of text lines on the drawing
