Comment:
@parbaugh thanks and welcome to Trac. I can reproduce this with Safari 12
and VoiceOver 8. Works correctly with Chrome and VoiceOver so seems
specific to Safari + VO.
In my experience with screen readers, sometimes the caret is not correctly
placed within an input field for weird issues in the markup itself, often
related to space collapsing. No JavaScript or CSS involved. I've just
tried removing the `<p>` element that wraps the hidden label and the input
and that fixed it for me. I was able to VO + Arrow keys and have the caret
correctly placed within the field.
Another thing that seems to work is changing the indentation in the
markup: currently it's `<p><input ...` and placing the input in a new line
worked for me. @parbaugh would you like to check if these workarounds fix
the issue for you too, when you have a chance? Thanks.
Moving to the 4.9.9 milestone, as it seems a very simple fix.
