WPF TextBox Caret Disappearing

Question

I'm developing a WPF application that has TextBox components.

I'm having a problem with the caret of the text boxes. It seems that, depending on the location of the TextBox itself, the caret disappears on certain specific locations

Caret showing:

Caret disappears:

Caret returns:

The TextBox style is very simple:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}" x:Key="FormTextBox">
    <Setter Property="Width" Value="464"/>
    <Setter Property="Height" Value="74"/>
    <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left"/>
    <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Microsoft Sans Serif"/>
    <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="43.2"/>
    <Setter Property="MaxLength" Value="50"/>
</Style>

I tried even setting the font to Courier New which is monospace font, same thing.

The problem seems to be common (1, 2) with the scale transformation, which is being applied by the behavior you mentioned in comments.

mainElement.LayoutTransform = scaleTransform;

And from MSDN, there's no

effective solution for this issue.

So, if you want to support multi-resolution, I would recommend ViewBox; simple, and do the job.
