Major Bug - Chat Cursor Gone

The patch has introduced a very serious bug.
There is supposed to be a flashing cursor in the chat box when it is active, so that you know you are typing in it and not just mashing hotkeys.
Since the patch this cursor is gone, and it provides frustration all the time.
Please fix it as soon as you possibly can.

Was wondering if I was just imagining a cursor being there in the first place.
Text input boxes fail to display cursor in leftmost position
It's not literally all text boxes, just almost all. The one exception I found is the text box for the message body in the "Compose" tab of the mail window. However, every other text box I've checked is affected by this bug.
The bug actually occurs whenever the cursor is in the leftmost position, not only when an empty text box is selected. You can easily test this by typing something and then using the left arrow key to move your cursor all the way to the left one character at a time. When you get to the left of all the text, the cursor will disappear.
So? Test server is obviously a bad joke, they always release everything bugged anyway. Not sure if they even check test server for player feedback.

Chat window's effect is the most bothersome for me, though. And indeed it's VERY annoying.
It is rather confusing there because the name is already in the box to start off with. Not being able to see a cursor there is strange...am I supposed to be able to type there? Well, yes you are but you won't see a cursor to tell you, you are actually IN that box to type.

(this was just a tiny remark to what alcyoneserene said that he believes this was noticed by him since last patch)
I thought this all was linked only to me not knowing initially in each time in which active window/chat box I am even in case it was clear before, making my usual "typos" and causing this way more troubles than before, and then, seeing the effect, having more "insecurity" (or less noticing the cursor when it actually appear, causing other mess) or confusion in that specific regard too somehow (I think I need strong visual cues/feedback especially - being non coordinated and not noticing well, but after the patch I seem to less trust/expectation to find cursor or finding this measure less valid, so less noticing those when a cursor IS marked - but this is an assumption) which just increased the phenomenon. Yes the cursor bug ITSELF affects me very badly.
As of "last patch" - yes, 100% sure it's exactly since the arena patch as slycere said. Realized that from the date of my post (this and the previous one) it might have been not very clear.
BTW, also noticed other bug though unsure if it's since patch, it was regarding party invites whitelist, an issue which frustrated me much and was reported partially elsewhere, albeit non fully yet.
