> I know we consider clicks in space above the first line to be part of the first line.  But maybe we shouldn't for single-line input?  It seems reasonable to disable that behavior in the single-line case.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well. But then we'll have to maintain two different behaviors :(  I know there's some Mac-ism involved here so not sure if we can just change that unilaterally.

I do agree with Ojan that the user expectation will probably vary depending on the amount of padding we have. If we have, say, 100px paddings, then I don't think they'll expect this as a bug.

Maybe we can use some heuristics like do the current behavior if we're more than 20% of line-height away from edges?
