cursor in address bar mostly disappeared in Nightly

Recently the cursor in the address bar in Nightly mostly disappeared. To explain: on regular Firefox, the cursor is a thin, black, vertical bar, but on Nightly now, it's as if that bar moved up, leaving only a tiny bit visible at the top of the address bar. And the same problem is present in all textboxes. It's definitely possible that I accidentally set a setting via fumble fingers. Does anyone have a guess what the setting is to return things to normal?

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click "Refresh Firefox" in the Troubleshoot Mode start window

That is bug 1932800 and should be fixed in the current Nightly build.

  • 1932800 - Caret on many text fields (E.g. address-bar, b.m.o search field, etc.) appears to be shifted upwards
