Cursor disappears from input field. We can type any text in this field, but
never can see cursor in it:
<div style="height:50%;width:50%;overflow:auto">
<div style="position:absolute;"><input type=text name="1"></div>
</div>


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click in the input field.


Expected Results:  
Normaly we may see cursor blinking but it not happen on this page:(

With this code we can repoduce this bug.
<div style="height:50%;width:50%;overflow:auto">
<div style="position:absolute;"><input type=text name="1"></div>
</div>
But if we remove
overflow:auto;
and/or
position:absolute;
All works perfectly.
