I don't see that, but it looks similar to the bidi-cursor here: Bug 336259.

Sounds like the bidi caret to me too.

but everything is ltr (en-US) here, so why should I see a bidi caret/cursor ?

Maybe because of bug 277701 ?

WFM, Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060518 Minefield/3.0a1 (I do see a bidi caret with my "real" account, where I have Hebrew labels, but not in a virgin test account).

Seems like a dupe of Bug 288839. Prog.

Here, however, the claim is that there is no RTL on the page, and still a bidi caret appears.

Looks like a DUP of bug 272096 - Disable bidi caret on platforms without nsBidiKeyboard::IsLangRTL impl'. It has been fixed on trunk. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 272096 ***

You're right VERIFIED
