Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 330471

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Sergey Ilinsky]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

The relatively positioned layer hides a portion of cursor pointer. I assume this is wrong since cursor is a "system" thing, so any HTML should not be able to hide it.

<div style="position:relative; height:100px; overflow:hidden;">

    <div style="position:relative; overflow-y:scroll; overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical; height:10px;">

    </div>

    <div style="position:absolute;top:0px;z-index:1;">
        <input type="text" />
    </div>

</div>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a page with the supplied HTML put
2. Focus the input field
3. See the portion of cursor.

Actual Results:  
Flashing cursor is partly hidden

Expected Results:  
Cursor is visible entirely
