Blinking curson - weird behaviour

[Feasey, Nicholas]

Yup, thanks very much Sarah.  You were right on the money with that one.

It layers have a lot to do with it and whether the group/field is in front
or behind.
Bring the group and the fields to the front then setting the other
properties ("Return Key Moves to Next Field" and unchecking the "Don't Tab
to Contained Objects") fixes everything up.

This is a bug that happens when you have overlapping groups. The fields 
UNDERNEATH part of another group will not show the flashing text 
insertion cursor. Change the layers of your groups or move fields around 
until you can see the cursor. I have one weird case where a multiline 
field in a group is partially under another group. You can see the 
cursor in the first 2 lines but as soon as you get down to line 3, it 
disappears.

Cheers,
Sarah
