I haven't seen a caret on Linux in over a week. I thought this was just part of
the general caret problems Simon was planning to work on, but just found out
that it's been drawing fine on Mac and Windows. So this is actually a Linux gfx
bug. This is much more serious now that gfx text widgets are the default.

Simon and I looked at this on my machine, and here's some further detail:
- Sometimes I do see a caret, sometimes not. It's never blinking.
- It isn't the caret width or blink timeout at fault.
- When a caret is drawn, mousing over the toolbar will usually make it go away
again.
- If I break at line 568 of nsCaret.cpp (the InvertRect call in
DrawCaretWithContext), and repeatedly continue from that breakpoint, the caret
does draw and erase itself. But when this happens "live" in realtime, under
timer control, the blinking doesn't work right.
QA Contact: petersen → cpratt
Summary: No caret drawn on Linux → [PP] Linux - No caret drawn on Linux
Changing QA contact to self (as this bug is a major usability problem) and
marking as [PP].

i checked in a fix
The caret has also gone missing on Windows. I'll check for that on tomorrow's
builds. Leaving [PP] etc for now.
I see carets in the Location: control and TEXTAREAs; they seem normal to me. So,
I'm going to go ahead and mark this verified. 1999101908 build, Linux.
