Cursor dissappears when I enable simple menu

Not sure if this is a bug or a configuration problem.

I'm using firefox 1.5.0.9. template is bluemarien.

I installed simplemenu. It's a great module. However as long as that module is enabled, whenever my mouse takes focus in any form field (e.g. any input box), it never displays my cursor eventhough, my cursor IS there. I can type in the input box and delete characters or use the arrow keys. It's just that there is no cursor display to give you any context.

The problem is that in order to get simplemenu to work, i picked up a tip from this issue section which said i needed to insert:

  <?php print $scripts ?>

into the head section of my template.

when i insert this code, simplemenu works BUT THE CURSOR PROBLEM ARISES. when i remove it from my template, simplemenu does NOT work BUT MY CURSOR WORKS AGAIN..

Is there some other way to make simplemenu work?

It looks like a js conflict of some kind.

thanks
