15:01:28 <therube> of late, & "late" could be a few months now, SeaMonkey shows a "bar" ( | ) "placemarker" - all over the place, could be any web page...

15:07:03 <WG9s_> therube: are you running one of my builds?
15:07:22 <therube> WG9s - yes
15:08:15 <WG9s_> if you can find a good test case and no approximately when this started, my bulds are archived if you wan to try bisecting
15:08:33 <therube> actually, i suppose its the cursor position indicator, though i don't recall seeing it like that in the past?
15:12:42 <WG9s_> hmm seems rather odd.  most of the changes that have landed recently have to do with building not running.
15:13:24 <WG9s_> Oh I woonder if one of them ma have made it do hardware graphics acceleration in caes where it did not before.  you might try disabling that
15:31:47 <WG9s_> therube: what operating system is this?
15:32:08 <therube> Win7.
15:33:22 <WG9s_> ok and what windows theme and what seamonkey theme?
15:34:17 <WG9s_> later on I can try rebooting this laptop inwin7 and see if i can figure anything out.
15:59:54 <frg_Away> I don't see this. If you have an url I can check with old versions. Still running 7 too on another partition.
16:18:13 <therube> heh, a light read, https://www.theregister.com/2022/05/31/the_cynics_guide_to_linux/
16:22:26 <therube> from the thergister link, https://imgur.com/a/io3he3r
16:24:01 <therube> Win7, "classic" theme (i.e., looks like XP), "aero" & all other trash is not enabled, SeaMonkey default theme.
16:24:29 <therube> wonder if it's not some (old, ancient) .css in my (existing) Profile?
16:25:19 <therube> new Profile does not display the "bar" ( | )
16:26:28 <therube> .css does not look to be it either... - with a quick look... ?
16:29:58 <therube> looks like it will be something in prefs.js...
16:31:01 <therube> well, i wonder how /that/ got enabled, accessibility.browsewithcaret
16:31:34 <therube> so, that was relatively easy to figure out once i realized that everyone was not seeing the same as i was :-)
17:07:45 <WG9s> oh that happens if you type the same key muoltipole times (like the spacebar to keep the screen from blanking) and then misread the pop-up about caret browsing and give it the wrong answer
17:29:53 <WG9s> therube: this might soun d like a stuipd question, but, do y ou won a cat? and if so does she like to sleep on the keyboard.  my catis good at trying to turn on caret browsing
17:31:21 <therube> heh, no.  my cat is not really interested in computers.  at the moment & for the rest of the day, he'll be outside lounging in the heat.
19:20:09 <WG9s> therube:  rpu might wan tot set accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled to flase
19:20:12 <WG9s> false
19:20:33 <therube> sure :-)
19:25:41 <WG9s> do you have a cat?  my cat loves to try to turn on caret browsing
19:26:20 <WG9s>  perhaps she is hungry and has carets confused with carrots?
19:27:11 <therube> mice, birds, snakes, rabbits... are all fair game. but he leaves my veggies alone.
19:27:13 <therube> bye
