Can I increase visibility of text insertion cursor in Matlab Editor?

Using Matlab 2016a on a Windows 10 system: In the Editor, I use a black background with light text of various colors. The text is easily visible, but the text insertion cursor (the little vertical line segment) is thin and dim, and hard for me to see unless I'm staring right at it. The Win10 OS (under "ease of access" or "accessibility") has a setting for width of the text insertion cursor line, but this only affects the insertion line in Matlab's command window; the insertion line in the editor is unaffected. Matlab preferences appear to have no setting for this. Any suggestions?

Same problem here, with a normal white background in Matlab R2024b. The only solution seems to be to use a different editor, maybe Notepad++.

I had exactly the same problem, in fact, I found your question by Googling the same question, leading me to your query. As a solution, this probably isn't what you're looking for...I simply went into Preferences -> Editor/Debugger -> Display; then under 'General display options' I set the 'Highlight current line' option to black, matching the black background of the Editor. For me, this meant that the thin text insertion cursor line showed up clearly (it's white for me).
