While editing (specifically, deleting) the last character in the To:

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. reply to an email email
2. delete the last character in the To: email address
3.

Actual Results:  
The vertical bar type marker (caret) indicating the current cursor position
disappeared.

Expected Results:  
Continue to display the vertical bar type marker (caret) indicating the current
cursor position.

I just changed the component to "message compose window". Originally it was,
wrongly, "Mail Window Front End". Paul.
