Did the latest update and now I can not compose emails. To line ok. Subject line ok. Then no cursor, no text in message. Tried the solution of setting background color and font color and can get a white background with blue text (unable to get black) for the email I am working on. Then go to the next email and have to go through the same process again to get the cursor and font to show. Next email is the same and so on. Any easy solutions?

are you using a dark theme? Most folks with issues are and reverting to a light one works a treat.

Otherwise go to preferences and specify a text colour, just remember that white and black are not good choices as different themes may set the background to both of those extremes.
