It's a regression from bug 966992.  If I enable layout.css.overflow-clip-box.enabled in
about:config and then add the style 'overflow-clip-box:padding-box' in Inspector the
text caret is displayed.  I'll take a look...

Could this also be related to bug 997921 ? There's a different regression window there, but they seem far too suspiciously the same...

Blocks: 965237
The bug only occurs if you explicitly specify overflow:hidden, so the easiest workaround is
to not do that, or specify any other value.  If that's not an option, another workaround is
to specify padding-right:0.

This doesn't seem like Aurora/Beta material to me, but here you go:

[Approval Request Comment]
Bug caused by (feature/regressing bug #): 965237
User impact if declined: The input caret is not displayed in its right-most position for text input elements that are styled with "text-align:right; overflow: hidden;" (which I'm guessing is very rare).  Easy to workaround though, with no loss of function/appearance, see comment 8.
Testing completed (on m-c, etc.): on m-c since 2014-05-12 
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): low
String or IDL/UUID changes made by this patch: none

Approving for uplift since it's a low risk fix for a recent regression.  We don't know how many sites this affects but having the fix out sooner than 3 versions later is likely a good thing.
