Details

Steps to reproduce:

Focus a text or search input field that already contains text by tapping on the border of the input. Demo

Actual results:

The caret jumps to the beginning of the text.

Expected results:

The caret should appear at the position clicked, preserving intuitive text editing behavior and reducing confusion.

Behavior differs from Firefox Desktop and Chrome (which correctly place the caret where clicked).
Safari on iOS also exhibits the same "jump to start" behavior.
