Default text insertion point changed from vertical line to point, yuk.

My text insertion point changed from vertical line to dot. How do I change
it back? Why was it sometimes a think vertical line and othertimes a thick
vertical line?

No one knows what causes this, but changing the zoom to 500% and back
usually fixes it, at least temporarily.

FWIW, you can do this in an auto macro; an example can be found at
