HTML reduction showing the problem

The jWYSIWYG rich-text editor for jQuery stores HTML in a textarea element, and toggles the `display` CSS of that element to allow users to edit raw HTML if they wish to tweak what jWYSIWYG produces.

We found that textarea can't be edited in the current stable version of Chrome (27.0.1453.116, specifically) but worked fine in previous versions (e.g. 26.) Safari 6.0.5 works fine as well. I expect to be able to click in the textarea and have it receive focus, and for the text inside to be selectable and editable; instead, none of that is the case, and clicks in the textarea are (apparently) ignored.

I verified that the problem existed in r151773, the nightly for June 20, 2013, then ran a binary search on the nightly builds to narrow the regression down from r143270 (the latest build I could find which doesn't show the problem) to r143346 (the oldest build which does show the problem). 

The jWYSIWYG example page linked above demonstrates the issue. I am attaching a reduction starting from that page.
