(Core :: Web Painting, defect)

Description

[Olivier Borowski]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030708

== http://tbasic.free.fr/bugzilla/caretAboveLayer.htm ==
Caret disappears when the text field is above a layer with scrollbars (this 
field is on a separate layer)
When scrollbars are hidden, no problem occurs.
== http://tbasic.free.fr/bugzilla/caretAboveIframe.htm ==
The same problem appears when the text field is above an iframe (scrollbars or 
not). In this exemple, only a part of the caret is visible on the first field.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make a layer with scrollbars (position absolute)
2. make a second layer (position absolute) with a text field. This second 
layer has to be on top of the first one.
Actual Results:  
Caret does not appears when the text field has focus.

Expected Results:  
Display caret (as IE6 does)

Tested on WinXP, Crystal theme, from Mozilla 1.2.1 to nightly 2003-07-09
