Cursor is visible when plaintext editing is used.

Comment on attachment 270883 [details] [diff] [review] possible ...patch. But need to think a bit if this breaks something else.

No cursor in thunderbird compose window today...

This should work for now. If bug 235441 gets fixed, one may need to add a listener for bubbling phase to catch the case when focus is dispatched to the editor's piTarget.

The patch fixes Thunderbird too.

Checked in.

Thanks for the quick response and fix Olli

(In reply to comment #8) > Checked in. In my SM-Trunk-build 2007070505 the cursor only appears, when I click into the text. Without the click, the bug always exists.

I'm seeing the same thing in Thunderbird message composition window. And arrowing around doesn't move the caret once clicking as gotten it to appear. This makes selecting text and editing challenging.

(In reply to comment #13) > I'll look at the other cursor visibility problem. > Actually, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=386872#c2 says that the visibility problem started 6-28, so that cursor visibility problem isn't the same as this one. contentEditable was checked in 6-27 http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=all&branch=HEAD&branchtype=match&dir=&file=&filetype=match&who=&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=explicit&mindate=2007-06-27&maxdate=2007-06-28&cvsroot=%2Fcvsroot So, I'd say that cursor visibility problem is bug 386174. The problem with arrow keys is bug 386189.

This problem still exists as of today. Is there some doubt?
