Bug Description

Release: UM 21.04

Software, version: ubuntu-mate-artwork, 21.04.6~hirsute1.0

How to reproduce:
1) Login to UM session and change to Yaru-MATE-dark theme if not already.
2) Open file manager 'Caja' and select a file or folder.
3) Try to rename it by using 'F2' or selecting 'Rename' from right-click menu.
4) While in rename state, move the cursor, as if you want to change a particular letter or at a particular position.

You see the blinking cursor moving in response to navigation (or even mouse click).

The issue was raised by our community forum user. Following is the work around suggested there, which I confirm works.

1) Add following line to `/usr/share/themes/Yaru-MATE-dark/gtk-3.20/gtk.css` and `/usr/share/themes/Yaru-MATE-dark/gtk-3.20/gtk-dark.css`
2) Restart the mate-session (logout/login)

```
.caja-desktop.view .entry,
.caja-navigation-window .view .entry {
    caret-color: #000;
}
```

22.04, 21.10 Ubuntu Mate, Yaru Mate Dark theme, text caret navigation is not visible while renaming a file on the desktop. Yaru Mate light is ok.

Previously problem was solved for Caja in issues:
https://github.com/ubuntu-mate/ubuntu-mate-artwork/issues/83
https://github.com/ubuntu-mate/ubuntu-mate-artwork/issues/82.

Now the same problem exists for desktop. It seems that this problem should be solved globally.
