i'm going to go eat some worms now.

FIXED! Woohoo!!!!!

I'm going to re-open this critically important M20/trivial bug. Just forget that I did this until M20 actually rolls around. ;) In particular, on the current builds (11.09.99: Mac OS & Win32, 11.08.99: Linux), if you select the content of the text field, delete, and then select the content again *by* *keyboard* *shortcut* ([Control || Command] A), the caret will disappear entirely on Linux/Mac OS, and turn into a blue line on Win32.

Eli, would you open a seperate bug on this and close this one out? This is actually a different issue and probably needs to be fixed in m12/m13 timeframe. Thanks!

I'll make it so, Joe.

Side-issue split into 18572. Verifying as fixed.
