Bug Description

Binary package hint: xulrunner-1.9

After applying all recent updates, including the fixes for Bug 178558, I no longer have a text cursor when entering text in a textarea, e.g., the one I am entering this report into now. I have a mouse cursor (currently an I-beam), but not a text cursor showing where I am typing. This is not a problem for text fields, just a textarea.

No. I cannot reproduce this error with 8.10, 9.04, nor 8.04.1. Looks to have been fixed.

As the original reporter, and given that I can no longer reproduce this with fully updated versions of Hardy, Intrepid and Jaunty, I am marking it as fixed. No clue as to which update fixed it.

I've been seeing these symptoms recently in Jaunty. I don't know what caused it, but it's very annoying.
