The caret in an input control should be always visible.
However if the text in the input control is long enough, the caret goes off the visible part, the text is not scrolled automatically to make the caret visible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open some web page with <input type="text"> control on it. For example, http://www.mozilla.org
2. Type into input control more text than fits into its width. (For example, into "search mozilla" search field.)


Actual Results:  
The caret goes past the right border of the input control.

Expected Results:  
It should stay at the right border, the text should have been scrolled leftwards.

The bug occurs only in the last Seamonkey nightlies.
Switching to the clean profile didn't help.
Changed version to "trunk".
