High contrast theme has a UX issue with the cursor. #77368

Description

@envygeeks
  • VSCode Version: 1.35.1
  • OS Version: macOS latest

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Use the high contrast theme
  2. Wish yourself luck trying to figure out where the cursor actually is
  3. Cry a little

When using the high-contrast theme, one cannot easily determine where the cursor actually is because the box around certain stuff obscures it, and a bolded left, or right side hardly points to where the cursor actually is because the old portions weight is not enough to easily determine in a sub-second like outside of high contrast themes (actually if we were highly technical the same applies to non-high contrast as well because the cursor is often too thin)
