http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/bug-form.html)
2. write a little text
3. go to end of text and press the right-arrow-key


Actual Results:  the cursor disapears

Expected Results:  the cursor should not disapear so that I can write more text
if I want

sounds like an editor bug; a duplicate from long ago.
This bug has been fixed (or at least works for me today on Mac)

Yes, I remember having had this problem long time ago.
Tested on PC/Linux. Reproduced on M15, but worksforme with 2000061420.
