When the caret position is past the right edge of a block, it does not always paint (it paints when it moves or changes, but not when it should blink). This happens at the end of a line of right-aligned text (or the beginning of right-aligned RTL text). To reproduce: 1. Open the URL 2. Click near the top of the document 3. Type some text

Probably a result of removing the padding in <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/28523>.

Created attachment 21339 [details] Revert part of r28523 This patch fixes the regression. Its weakness is that it only covers cases where the caret is within one pixel from the block, but I could not come up with a reasonable general solution. I am not sure that it is ever valid for the caret to be more than one pixel away from the block.
