The caret disappears when moving the caret via arrow, home or end keys to beginning or ending of a DIV with contenteditable=true set. The disappearing caret sometimes appears to affect control focus drawing. The contenteditable=true DIV contains SPANs that have contenteditable=false. If you don't have SPANs with contenteditable=false, keyboard navigation functions normally. Safari for Windows & Safari for Mac, both appear to have the same issue.

A workaround here is to add a non-breaking space before the first span and after the last span inside id="divto".
