[Bug 107247]

[Josh Triplett]

I just encountered this issue myself, on Planet Mozilla
(planet.mozilla.org).  I visited Planet Mozilla, and noticed that I
couldn't seem to use the arrow keys to scroll.  Poking at it further, I
found that if I held down an arrow for a while, the page would start
scrolling in that direction after a bit; if I stopped, and then pressed
in the same direction, it would scroll in that direction immediately,
but reversing direction required waiting a bit.  This felt a lot like
caret browsing; however, caret browsing was not actually turned on.  I
pressed F7 to turn on caret browsing, and after confirming that in the
dialog, the caret appeared exactly where the scrolling behavior
suggested it would.  (For example, if I pressed down until the page
started scrolling, then pressed up a couple of times, then turned on
caret browsing, the caret would appear a couple of lines above the
bottom of the window.)
