Created attachment 67915 [details] The status of step 2 and step 3. What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Prepare an html page with an input textbox as below: <html> <head> <title>hello</title> </head> <body> <input type="text"> </body> </html> 2. Open the html by safari or chorme and type a long text (longer than the textbox) into the input textbox. Do NOT move the cursor just keep it on the tail of the text. (Right now, the tail of the text is visible and the head is invisble) 3. Focus to the other window directly, and then switch back. Now the head of the text is visible, and the cursor never moved as before, but invisible. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Keep the tail of the text and the cusor visible as before. Please use labels and text to provide additional information. Safari 5.0.2 (5533.18.5) or Google Chrome 6.0.472.59 on Mac OS X (Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0)
It's not obvious to me that this is a bug. This is how native text fields work on Mac.

I create a cocoa application and add a NSTextField with Interface Builder, or try on the search box on the right-top of the safari, or try to open the html with firefox(I don't know if it uses the native text fields of Mac), they all keep the tail of the text and the cusor visible.
Ah, if the text field does not lose focus, then you're right, the scroll and caret positions are maintained.
Yep, after you switch back,the text filed is still on focus, AND the Cursor is ALSO in the end of the words BUT you can't see it, (you can keep on typing,it's all right just like you never switched),so, i think it's a bug!
