Hello,

I am trying to make an animation that has an input TF. The problem is that the cursor does not show up in the TF right away no matter what I do. When the user starts typing, text does appear in the TF and the cursor is then visible, but I need the cursor to show up right away.

Has anyone ever seen this problem? Any solutions?

Thanks in advance.
