FireFox2 vanishing caret

I'm sorry, I did not understand your issue. Could you please explain what's going wrong in more detail? If you can, a screenshot would be helpful, too.

Seems like you do not want to provide further information.

The caret is this symbol: ^

When you type it in a text box - for example when you post a comment on a node - it gives you a ? instead.

//

My own problem is more alarming. When I type in a text box my cursor has disappeared.

This page reports the same problem

Any advice?

Same problem here - it seems it is happening with Firefox but not Internet Explorer.

Caret dissapears and also clicking the mouse in a select box (eg Views exposed taxonomy filter) does not highlight selection. Instead if I use the up/down keyboard arrows after the select box has gained focus the items get highlighted.

I could not pinpoint when exactly it happens as it is not the case on all websites where the module is used - could this be conflicting with SimpleMenu 5.x-4.0?

(changed the version to 5.x-2.1 which is the version used in my case and the latest released)

Hm. There are many users of admin_menu working with Firefox and the last issue regarding disappearing web site elements was in conjunction with the definition of "position: fixed" in admin_menu's stylesheet, which has been removed one year ago.

Thus, if both of you are concurrently using admin_menu and SimpleMenu, it could be possible that SimpleMenu is using fixed positioned elements somewhere and thus, causing this bug (for the record, in Firefox!). Please report back if you are using both modules.

When the problem was noted I was using both modules.

Now I am just using SimpleMenu without any problems! Is it possible that SimpleMenu is the culpit when there are no problems on using it on its own?

@ted: Since I don't have a clue what could be going wrong here, and it looks like people are using admin_menu and simplemenu concurrently, I'm giving simplemenu a try: Is one of simplemenu's themes fixed positioned? If yes, see #7.

The position:fixed was removed from Simplemenu too. I just tested in Firefox 3 beta 2 and it all seems to work well.
