Hi,

Sometimes I see small, sometimes blinking, white square on some forum pages, has anybody else noticed that? I am not sure if it is firefox, gentoo or phpBB related, I have never noticed it anywhere else. It changes location when I scroll the page, but tends to stay in the same column. It is also visible on screenshots.

Code:
zucca@NBLK-WAX9X ~ $ qlist -Iv firefox
www-client/firefox-128.3.1


I haven't noticed such square.

Maybe you have some extension which causes it?

This sounds a bit like the caret browsing accessibility feature is active.

This could be it.

Here is the documentation for Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/accessibility-features-firefox

It does not seem to be the case as:
  • I have 'Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages' disabled
  • when I enable it, it produces standard looking text cursor (much thinner and taller).


Maybe it some sort of rendering artifact...

Never seen it. Are you able to right click it and "inspect element"?
Zoom might help with that [Ctrl][+]
