When editing content inside an element with `position:relative`, the text caret (cursor) is completely invisible. Text can be typed and appears in the editor, but there's no visual feedback of where the insertion point is located.
On Chrome Mobile for Android, typing certain punctuation characters (commas, colons, semicolons, quotes, etc.) in the middle of a word causes the cursor to jump to the end of the word instead of staying at the insertion point.
When deleting the last character before a non-editable "pill" or tag element (contenteditable="false") in a contenteditable div in Chrome, the caret (cursor) jumps to the end of the entire contenteditable div instead of staying adjacent to the remaining content.
In Chrome on Windows, arrow keys may move the caret by word instead of by character, even when no modifier keys are pressed. This makes precise cursor positioning difficult.
After pasting content into a contenteditable region, the caret position does not end up at the expected location, sometimes jumping to the beginning of the pasted content or to an unexpected position.
