The caret moves as if the spacing was set to normal but the text shows up as the CSS tells it to. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Minimal testcase: <input type="text" style="word-spacing:3px" /> Just put anything in with a few spaces. The bigger the spacing is, the easier it is to see the effect. Actual Results: Some of the text starts to disappear after entering a few words, and only shows up when the caret "catches up" to that position. This makes it hard/impossible to use forms on a small number of sites. Mozilla build 2004-09-25-05 and this FF build have the same problem. It only happens on <input type="text">, not on <textarea>s.

caret stuff is selection.
