We have a new update on The Future of the Penny Arcade Forums.

Blinky text cursor in places it doesn't belong in!

You know that little blinky bar that marks your place in text fields? Wikipedia tells me it's called a caret, but I've never heard that before.

For some reason it's showing up for me wherever I click on the page, regardless of whether I can actually interact with the space. For example, if I click in the middle of the words, "Disable smilies in text," as I'm making this post, it will pop up right where I clicked; or by the big Penny Arcade logo at the top of the page, it appears next to it.

This started happening a couple minutes ago. I thought I might as well try rebooting, but it didn't help. I'm using Firefox, if it matters. It's not really a big problem, just sort of strange.

    Press F7, you've turned Caret browsing on by mistake.
