sorry in advance... this reply is extremely cluttered with the formatting.
It's hard to communicate the behavior without inline style reply with
quoting characters though...

for me the caret is stationary ONLY if it's at the beginning of the line.
It's weird that we get different behavior. Thanks for the help!
