Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

The caret div disappears for the text input in the following example:
<div id=div1 style="position:absolute"><input type=text></div>
<div id=div2 style="height:400px;width:400px;overflow:auto;"></div>

When the position attribute for div1 is cleared then the caret shows up.  Or 
if the overflow attribute for div2 is removed or set to "overflow:clip" the 
caret appears as well.  So there must be some buggy interaction between 
overflow:auto and dealing with layers on top of things that have the 
overflow:auto attribute set.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. <div id=div1 style="position:absolute"><input type=text></div>
   <div id=div2 style="height:400px;width:400px;overflow:auto;"></div>
