Status: RESOLVED FIXED

In the following testcase Input element positioned partly outside of the Body
with Overflow:Hidden. When Input is focused a part of blinking caret inside of
the Body is not visible and a part of the same caret outside of the Body is
visible. 

P.S. An Input is positioned this way only to show the weird behaviour.
Practically I have a CSS-driven layout of a chat and an input box located inside
of an absolutely positioned block doesn't show a caret.

P.P.S. This doesn't affect typing, by the way...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the following testcase
2. Click inside of an Input
3.

Actual Results:  
Part of caret *outside* of a Body is visible and blinking.

Expected Results:  
Part of caret *inside* of a Body should be visible and blinking.

The testcase in this bug works for me in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT
5.0; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031216 Firebird/0.7+. But bug 216353 is still
broken. May be this bug should be reresolved as a WFM, not a dupe of bug 216353?

I am very confident that this is a duplicate of bug 216353.
(and they both got fixed by the patch in bug 225811)

Ivan, please upgrade to the latest build and try again.
