Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make a div with overflow:auto
2. make another div on top of it with a text area inside
3. click on text area... no caret




Display the caret normally.

This also happens on text boxes as well as text areas.  If you make overflow:hidden on the underlying layer, the cursor re-appears.
