Figma draws the text caret in the text's solid fill colour (measured in the web app, 2026-11-09). The overlay took the character before the caret, its run's fills or the layer's, and drew the topmost visible solid opaque; gradient, image and hidden fills keep the interface colour. Width, height, selection and collaborators' carets are unchanged.
