Typing cursor is invisible in Writer

I’ve been using Writer for years with no issue. I downloaded the new version of LibreOffice and now I cannot see the blinking typing cursor when I start a new document. Word & letter count says I typed something, but there are no visible words on the new doc. I’ve tried changing type color, still nothing shows.

If I open an existing doc, the cursor is there & functions as it should - I can delete what’s on the page and begin typing. So how do I make the cursor appear when I open Writer so I can just start typing…and see what I’m typing?
Running Windows 10 Pro.

Please, share your LibreOffice info, and a reduced screenshot, something like

Thanks.
