• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: CONFIGURATION CHANGED
• Component: HTML Editing

[Joseph Pecoraro]

* SUMMARY
Caret missing from <input> after clearing text and calling select().

* TEST
<input id="x" type="search">
<button id="s">Select</button>
<script>
document.getElementById("s").addEventListener("click", function() {
    var input = document.getElementById("x");
    input.select();
});
</script>

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Load test page
2. Focus the <input>
3. Type "123"
4. Click the "Select" button
5. Hit Backspace/Delete to clear the text
6. Click the "Select" button
  => <input> is clearly focused, but there is no blinking caret. There should be.

* NOTES
- Firefox and Chrome behave as expected here

I changed the testcase to following JSFiddle:

Link - https://jsfiddle.net/76gpfk1s/show

I am able to see blinking I-Beam caret in Safari 16.

I am unable to reproduce this bug. Safari 16 matches "Chrome Canary 108" and "Firefox Nightly 107".

Marking this as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED". Thanks!
