Open the attached test case in Safari. * RESULTS Safari places the input cursor at the beginning of the textarea, instead of the end of the text area as Firefox does. <textarea id="test">Click the button below</textarea> <input type="button" value="Click me" onclick="document.getElementById('test').focus();">

We match MSIE here. IIRC, we have tried to switch to Firefox behavior a while ago, but this has caused problems with Outlook Web Access.

All browsers (Safari 16.5, Chrome Canary 115 and Firefox Nightly 115) now place caret / cursor at the beginning / start rather than like previous behavior of Firefox to place it at end of sentence. Since Firefox changed here. Marking this as 'RESOLVED WONTFIX'.
