Steps to reproduce:

Text input elements react to PageUp/PadeDown differently from other keys, e.g. Home/End. When pressing other keys, caret resets its blinking timer/cooldown: it would never dismiss when key is pressed.

My platform is ArchLinux, Xorg.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Put caret into a text field or text area.
  2. Press PageUp/PageDown repeatedly. It matters not whether you have any text typed into the field.

Actual results:

Caret blinks while being moved. It keeps blinking and hiding, and then reappears in a totally different place.

Expected results:

Just like with all other keys, caret should show up and reset its blinking cooldown when being moved by PageUp/PageDown.
