Summary:
When you have a UITextView and a block of attributed text that has a background and both indent and spacing in its paragraph style, typing return at the end of a line makes the caret disappear, until you start typing or change selection.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the attached sample project, or set the text view’s attributtedText to a string with a background color, and a paragraph style with spacing and indent.
2. Move the cursor to the end of any line.
3. Type return

Expected Results:
The caret should be visible

Actual Results:
The caret disappears until you type or move the cursor. Deleting the newline also makes the caret disappear. Depending on the specific attributes, the caret may be partially seen blinking *behind* the background color.
