Hi Bill
Navigating forward I don't get the caret problems. Navigating in reverse
however seems to trigger them. Still, this isn't inaccessibility. It's a
bug, and a relatively minor one all things considered. Mozilla should
definitely integrate a fix for it though. The performance boost I get
from 3.6 on my relatively slow machines is worth the bug.
