The ">" attached to he right of "|" signals that you can press "Tab" to get an autocomplete 
popup. This can be partly controlled by the preferences in Editing > Input Completion, although I just checked and the 
"Cursor indicator" is checked and greyed out for me for some reason.

The behavior that changed with respect to previous LyX versions is that the ">" 
is now much larger on some screens (including mine). Before, it was miniscule and you could 
only notice it if you were looking for it. You can read more about this issue here:

After the above, what are your updated thoughts? Do you find the ">" annoying? 
Do any of the preferences do what you want (e.g., disable it)?

Thanks Scott for explaining this. The cursor indicator check box is set 
but greyed out for me too. I turn off input completion which is probably 
why I hadn't noticed the > before. Now that I know what it is, the > is 
not a problem.

Could be. We would need feedback from people who actually use completion. I 
have never gotten used to using it. For those who do not use it, I imagine it 
can be turning off in preferences.

Small cursor anomaly

LyX 2.4.0 testing on windows 10.
