Using TOT Webkit nightly build (r16495), I can't place the caret into several of the input fields at http://www.super8.com/Super8/control/home. I have a reduced test case that shows this problem. Steps to reproduce: 1) Open the attached test case "super8.html" in a TOT Webkit nightly build (r16495) 2) Click on either of the two input fields on the page. Notice you get a focus ring around the field but the caret is not inserted Both input elements are conatined in a LABEL which appears to cause this problem. This works correctly in stock 10.4.7.

Right clicking in these input fields brings up the caret and then behave as normal until deselected.

I used the method contains, which relies on the isAncestor method. Would it be ok to patch one or both of these methods to work across shadow trees or would it be better to make a new method for this. (This is one reason why XBL1 in Mozilla set a 1-way parent pointer connection to cross shadow node boundaries so that all sorts of methods like this would just work automagically.)
