I've seen it with a 2004-11-19 trunk build, but I'm not seeing it directly from
starting up.

There are some thoughts about this in bug 260604.

I'll be damned... I also have this "hack" mentioned in bug 260604, to put the
sidebar on the right side of the main window. Without the extra userChrome, the
cursor is just a single line...

Well, that's another side-effect of this hack then:

- Gripper in download window is on the left side
- Tree-view in bookmark editor is on the right side
- Cursor has dot to show text direction for bidirectional text

Marking duplicate of bug 61847.
