Without seeing your code, no one is able to guess why it happens...

It almost looks like you've got another control - either a TextBlock or Label - placed on top of the first TextBox. Maybe you're using a Grid layout, and haven't set the Grid.Row and Grid.Column correctly on one of the child controls.

But as Maciej said, without seeing the relevant parts of your code, we're just guessing blindly.

If this is just the standard TextBox and you didn't create your own or add your own painting code, it's not a bug in the TextBox.

This looks more like a problem with your video card driver.

It's a regular TextBox. I'm using a WPF. If it's with my video card driver, why is it that other TextBoxes aren't affected?

I'm not going to go into a huge explanation. Suffice it to say that WPF will use DirectX to handle rendering if it's available. The standard Windows Common Controls will not use DirectX.

In WPF, it's NOT a regular TextBox out of the Common Controls library like what WinForms uses. It's a "simulation" of one.

Most rendering problems can be fixed by an updated video driver.
