Why is my text caret not appearing?

[Android Central Question]

That flashing bar you see when you type, the caret, doesn't appear when i make test messages. It works for everything else, even the search bar in my messages app. However, when I go to write a message it just doesn't appear. Is it a bug? A settings issue? I can still type but it's hard for me to make changes without knowing where the cursor is going to be.
