Comment 11 for bug 1595942

There's a couple of screenshots showing what I mean. The caret only disappears if we don't have focus (ie, the webview is not the focused item in the window, or it is but the window isn't focused). http://start.ubuntu.com/ styles the border of the input field blue when it's in focus - if this isn't happening at when you experience the caret not showing then it confirms it's a problem with focus, which appears to be specific to Unity 8
