testing with 2002040803 (which is really 2002040809), i do see a caret, but way
off the expected position. It starts blinking in the middle of page content instead

forgot: seeing this on WinXP. I believe i saw it on a fresh linux cvs build as
well, on the bugzilla query page. On bottom of page, the caret appear blinking
to the left of the "find" button. OS: All.

resolving as new. May be related to checkin for bug 128133

Another symptom: Go to the "Reproducible" field on the Bugzilla Helper.  It's
impossible to select an entry from the dropdown list with the mouse.  You have
to click on it, then hit keys to come up with the right item.  (Strangely, this
is not a problem on other dropdown lists in the helper - just this one.)

fix for bug 128133 was just backed out. This is likely a duplicate of bug 136080
