So I discovered this not-so-handy bug in Firefox today related to filling in information into a HTML form. Sometimes when the user is about to enter data, the text entry field’s cursor caret becomes invisible.
It’s a bug I’ve seen before but had just put down to my browser set-up, but today after seeing it happen on a colleague’s machine, I decided to investigate what was actually going on. It turns out I was not alone in having this problem, it is a known bug.
Basically, the problem seems to be caused by the scrolling properties of the DIV elements that an input field is contained in. There’s no z-index or cursor CSS fix - instead you need to use one of the two following solutions.
