142808 - Cursor only shows partially in Hebrew textareas

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 139969

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Prognathous]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc1)
Gecko/20020417
BuildID:    Win32- 2002041711 and MacOS9.x- 2002031106

When the cursor is set at the beginning of a line, only it's upper dot is showing.
The vertical line is hidden outside the right border of the textarea.
This also happens with other Hebrew websites (both Logical Hebrew and Visual Hebrew)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.mentor.org.il/mb/mentor/post.shtml
2. Focus the cursor on the main textarea (it will set correctly to the beginning
of the line)

Actual Results:  Only the upper dot will show.

Expected Results:  The Whole cursor should be visible, even if the cursor is set
at the beginning of the line.

If you enter any text character, the cursor will show completely.

Verified under Win2k (v1.0RC1-2002041711) and MacOS9.2 (v0.99-2002031106)
I am almost certain that this prooblem also happens with the BeOS and Linux
versions of Mozilla. I can test it if there is a need.
