Further behavior, same bug?  Keyboard can be used to move cursor and select text.  But selected text in search field is not highlighted, though actually is selected.  Repro:  In Google search field, type a word.  Cursor jumps to end, can't be repositioned with mouse.  With keyboard arrows, move cursor to midpoint; cursor is positioned as expected.  Shift + left arrow x2 to select block of text; cursor disappears and no text appears selected.  Click Delete; selected two characters are deleted, cursor is positioned as expected.
