I found out what was causing the issue. In my AJAX to add the comment
I had:
onCreate: function() {
$("foo').disable();
}
onComplete: function() {
$('foo').enable();
}
I commented out these two and the blinking cursor came back. Ideally,
the textarea should be disabled when the AJAX is processing...
