           Summary: Clicking/tapping close to the upper border of the
                    input field moves the cursor to the beginning.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All

4 text input fields. Test by clicking upper border of the input field. In the last three example, cursor will be moved to the beginning of the input.

Issue: clicking/tapping close to the upper border of a text input field moves the cursor to the beginning. This is different than Bug 15695 since it is generated by clicking on a specific region of the input field. This is especially problematic for mobile browsers because tapping is not precise.

Expected behavior: the cursor should be moved to the closest position in the input field.

Platforms: tested on PC/Mac/Android/iPhone with Chrome and Safari browsers.

Symptoms: AFAIK this only happens if height,padding,border properties of the input field is set. Setting style="height:initial; padding:0; border:0", it works as expected.
