Playhead disappears when pausing or stopping

I’m trying to mix two clips together, and whenever I hit stop or pause, the playhead doesn’t stay where I paused or stopped it; it just disappears.

I’ve tried for an hour, and no matter what I do, the playhead does not stay put so I can select a piece of the clip and put it next to another clip. The playhead used to be a black line that was easily visible. Now it’s just a white line that seems to be temporary because it won’t stay put no matter if I pause, stop, or scrub. It is so weird. This has to be a bug. Please tell me I’m missing something. I’d really hate for it to be a bug. I’m on Windows 11.
