A strange behaviour of the cursor when editing a string

[RinaVladimyrovna]

Expected behavior

• The cursor keep its position after a previous letter was erased

Actual behavior

• The cursor hops some letters to the end of the editing string after every erased letter

Steps to reproduce

• Print a relatively long string
• Place the cursor somewhere in the middle of the string
• Start erasing letters
• Watch cursor behaviour

Browser and OS

• Safari 10/602.1
• iOS 10.3.1

I'm not able to reproduce in Safari 9 (the only one I can test), does it's still an issue in 1.9.0?

[RinaVladimyrovna]

Unfortunately, it is hard to tell, because there is no opportunity to place cursor in the middle of the string since 1.9.0. It appears only at the end of the line now.

Practically, there is still an additional cursor to the very left of the active line.

you can change cursor position using click (but the terminal need to have focus) or using arrow keys.

that cursor on the left (in hidden textarea) was showing up only in IE I've fixed that in devel branch (css update).

Thank you for your reply.
I have no keyboard or mouse for my iPad right now unfortunately, so I have no opportunity to check it.
But I assure you, there is the second cursor in 1.9.0 on iPad's Safari.

Finally instaled Xcode on my MacOS that run in VM and using Simulator I've tested.

I've created beter cursor hiding and it seems it work for Android so it's fine, the fix is in devel branch in css file.
