when using "position: fixed" the carret dissapears from input-boxes, text-area's and other input controls. YOu can still type in them but you dont know where the typing will be because here is no carret, also you dont know which control has focus

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
this code fails:

<html>
	<head>
		<style type="text/css">
			.EDIT1CSS {position:absolute;left:167px;top:31px;z-index:100;width:121px;height:21px;font-style:normal;font-size:13px;text-decoration: none;text-align:left;}
			.EDIT2CSS {position:absolute;left:167px;top:63px;z-index:100;width:121px;height:21px;font-style:normal;font-size:13px;text-decoration: none;text-align:left;}
			.REGION1CSS {position:absolute;left:100px;top:100px;z-index:60;width:350px;height:200px;font-style:normal;font-size:13px;text-decoration: none;}
		</style>
	</head>
	<body>
  	<table name="REGION1_locker" id="REGION1_locker" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%" height="100%" style="left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; z-index:10;visibility: visible; position: fixed; background-color:blue;">
  		<tr><td></td></tr>
		</table>
  	<div style="background-color:white;border-style:solid;border-width:1;overflow:auto;padding:0;" class="REGION1CSS" id="REGION1">
			<input type="TEXT" name="EDIT1" value="EDIT1" class="EDIT1CSS" id="EDIT1" tabindex="3">
			<input type="TEXT" name="EDIT2" value="EDIT2" class="EDIT2CSS" id="EDIT2" tabindex="4">
		</div>
	</body>
</html>

while this code works:

<html>
	<head>
		<style type="text/css">
			.EDIT1CSS {position:absolute;left:167px;top:31px;z-index:100;width:121px;height:21px;font-style:normal;font-size:13px;text-decoration: none;text-align:left;}
			.EDIT2CSS {position:absolute;left:167px;top:63px;z-index:100;width:121px;height:21px;font-style:normal;font-size:13px;text-decoration: none;text-align:left;}
			.REGION1CSS {position:absolute;left:100px;top:100px;z-index:60;width:350px;height:200px;font-style:normal;font-size:13px;text-decoration: none;}
		</style>
	</head>
	<body>
  	<table name="REGION1_locker" id="REGION1_locker" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%" height="100%" style="left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; z-index:10;visibility: visible; position: absolute; background-color:blue;">
  		<tr><td></td></tr>
		</table>
  	<div style="background-color:white;border-style:solid;border-width:1;overflow:auto;padding:0;" class="REGION1CSS" id="REGION1">
			<input type="TEXT" name="EDIT1" value="EDIT1" class="EDIT1CSS" id="EDIT1" tabindex="3">
			<input type="TEXT" name="EDIT2" value="EDIT2" class="EDIT2CSS" id="EDIT2" tabindex="4">
		</div>
	</body>
</html>

Changing "position: absolute" to "position: fixed" in REGION1_locker makes it fail
