I don't recognize this particular issue, but this is the sort of weird thing that happens when you accidentally turn on some of the Universal access stuff.

I'd considered that earlier. Although I haven't been in the Universal Access preferences in ages, it seemed possible that "something" might have messed with them just the same. So I had a look and didn't notice anything different.

At Bruce's mention, I decided to look again. Aha. In the Seeing tab of Universal Access, VoiceOver and Zoom were "on." But... but... how?? (Piecing it back together now, I'm guessing that I had Zoom selected "on" to begin with. Still... VoiceOver?)

Command-F5.

See, when you edit a craigslist post, as the last step, you're asked to hit Control-F5. Absent-minded fingers are wont to land on the common Command key instead. Bingo, VoiceOver selected and the attendant weirdness.

Thank you, Bruce! Problem solved.
