Insertion Point suddenly twice normal size

I’m currently running Scrivener 3.3.6, and I’ve noticed over the last couple of days that my insertion point is twice as tall as normal. I’m writing double-spaced, and it occupies both the line of type and the blank space above it. It’s incredibly distracting, and I’ve searched multiple sources for a fix. I noticed there was a conversation on this forum last year about a similar issue attributable to Apple. Since that time, has there been any suitable workaround? I’m also bothered by the caps lock icon that pops up when I use that function. Thanks!

Both the cursor and the Caps Lock warning are Apple “innovations,” and outside our control.
