When I click on a text in a contenteditable div, the cursor does not appear to move.
once text is typed, the cursor becomes visible and text is entered in the clicked location.
its as if the cursor moves, but is not being redrawn.
I am unable to reproduce the bug in a simple jsfiddle environment.
Has anyone encountered such an issue before?
In the meantime I am trying to isolate the cause of the problem by removing css and javascript file references from the page.
and reverse- starting with a blank page and adding js/css in attempt to reproduce.
EDIT IN RESPONSE TO COMMENTS BELOW:
Browser: chrome
Javascript modules: jquery, jquery ui, rangy.
I tried to remove all javascript. and the bug was still there.
It must be coming from the css.
I am trying to single out the css rules involved. It appears to be a combination of things.
the :before psudo class (that I am using to show placeholder text in the div if it has no text) seems to be part of the problem.
The problem was traced to css3 3d transformations on a div that is located in the background of the contenteditable element.
Will try to place the background element in an iframe to resolve the issue.
