The Solution.
The textField isn't empty, just setting the chars to transparent, or the
same as the backgroundColor of the textField.
So, one has to do this:
set the useUnicode to true
set the unicodeText of fld "OOTPUT" to the unicodeText of fld "OOTPUT" &
numToChar(XXXXX)
set the textColor of fld "OOTPUT" to "black"
and this has to be done EVERY TIME a new char is appended.
You didn't mention filing a bug report, so it bears asking. Did you file
one? There have been past bugs where the cursor has been apparently
invisible but in reality was just set to white. Perhaps this bug, now
that you have identified the problem, will be relatively easy to fix.
