Created attachment 123582 [details] Repro example I have a container with position: relative, and inside of it a text area and a position: absolute div. The text area has a keyup event listener which updates the innerHTML of the div. To see the issue, try typing in the text area. Notice the display of the div is not updated. The issue goes away when either of the positioning styles is removed. The bug started appearing around the release of Chome 18, and is reproducible in both Chrome and WebKit.

Also confirmed: Safari Version 5.1.2 (6534.52.7, r110761) Note that s/innerHTML/innerText/ with the attached repro works just fine.

Safari, Chrome, and Firefox all agree on rendering for this test case. I don't believe there is any remaining compatibility issue.
