I have setup a sample page demonstrating the bug here: http://esaba.com/firefoxbug.html or you can use this HTML code to replicate the bug: <body> <iframe></iframe> <div style="position:absolute; top:50px; left:50px; z-index:1;"> <input type="text" /> </div> </body> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Place IFRAME on page 2.Place INPUT of type TEXT on page and use the CSS properties POSITION:ABSOLUTE, TOP, LEFT, and Z-INDEX to place the INPUT box over the IFRAME so it covers the IFRAME 3.Left mouse click in the input box to bring focus to it. Actual Results: Observe there is no blinking text cursor in the input box. Expected Results: A blinking text cursor should appear in the input box. Blinking cursor appears as expected in IE6 and IE7
The problem appears to be fixed in Firefox 3.0b4 Beta
