So we have two options here:

1. Drop our scrolling behavior for `setSelectionRange()`
2. Or, for now just replace the `select()` call with `input.setSelectionRange(0, input.value.length, "backward")` to workaround this. `backward` will put the cursor to the start position in this case.

I'm not sure whether option 1 would have significant web compat issue. Masayuki, do you have an opinion?
