Simple text box doesn't show cursor in Chromium and Chrome

[Kristina Hoeppner]

When having a simple text box, e.g. collection description, anonymous feedback, the cursor is not shown in Chrome and Chromium. I have it without problems in Firefox. You can still type in Chrome and Chromium, but just don't see the cursor.

Problem only affects Mahara 1.10, not 15.04 or 15.10.

Fixed for 15.04 as part of this commit, which removed the "Focus glow" from around text boxes. https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/4425/

Patch for "1.10_STABLE" branch: https://reviews.mahara.org/4952

Actually clicking on a tinymce textarea in chrome fails to give caret - it does when you tab into field though.

This is broken on 15.10, 15.04 and 1.10

There is a mention of a workaround for this by changing tinymce.css to have:

html {
    height: 100%;
}
body {
    height: 100%;
}

It fixes the problem but adds a new issue - a scrollbar on tinymce

Will need to get designers to look at this

Hi,

I did not see the issue on both Chrome(51.0.2704.106 (64-bit)) and Chromium(50.0.2661.102 Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit)).

I did not see the issue on both Google Chrome40 and 43 (tested via Saucelab) when I tested in Mahara 16.04
