282927 - Text cursor/I-bar displaced vertically when pos:fixed block extendeds above top=0

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 190290

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Phil Endecott]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-2)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-2)

I have a position:fixed div that contains an <input type="text">.  A child div
has position:absolute and a negative value for top, i.e. it is displayed higher
on the page than its parent.  The flashing I-bar cursor for the input is
displayed too high up on the screen.

It looks as if the position for the I-bar has been computed relative to the
origin of the position:fixed parent div but it is then displayed at this offset
relative to the extent of the div including its child.

I will attach a test case and screenshot.

This is with FF1.0, sorry I will install a 1.8 for testing real soon now :-)
Only possibly related bug I have seen is 190290.
