In the proxy prefs dialog, if you have the "No proxy for" text box focused, and you see the blinking caret, all you have to do is touch the left or right arrow key. Then it DISAPEARS! Wee! You can only get the caret back by clicking with the mouse somewhere.

Happens on Windows NT to. It is in all the textboxes in preferences-> proxies actually

Confirmed build:2001080603 WinNT

confirming with win2k build 20010806.. (marking NEW)

not sure if this should go to someone in the networking group [who owns the content in this panel], or to someone in the editor group [because of the caret issue]. cc'ing smfr, gagan and benc to see if they know...

This is caret weirdness in a text widget.

setting to 9.5

update: the caret does disappear as in the test case provided, BUT the focus/insertion point is still there. you can input text correctly. also, clicking with the mouse does not seem to bring back the caret, at least in my new build on win2k. this really really seems like a drawing/rendering issue, but I will assign it to mjudge because thats where it will end up anyway. anthonyd

If this is important to someone for 0.9.5, tell me now so I can find another owner for it. mjudge won't be back until 0.9.6.

-> 0.9.6

0.9.6 is gone -> 0.9.7

this is the same as the isue in 82151. i need to get into the guts of textarea again and block the caret from falling off. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 82151 ***

Verified.
