Odd cursor interaction with GWS

Project Member Reported by dylaness...@google.com, Aug 3 2016

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 54.0.2817.0
OS Version: OS X 10.11.6
URLs (if applicable) : https://www.google.com/search?q=DCOM+got+error+%221290%22+attempting+to+start+the+service+wuauserv+with+arguments+%22Unavailable%22+in+order+to+run+the+server
  Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
     Safari 9.1.2: OK
  Firefox 47: OK
     IE 7/8/9: N/A on Mac.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Visit https://www.google.com/search?q=DCOM+got+error+%221290%22+attempting+to+start+the+service+wuauserv+with+arguments+%22Unavailable%22+in+order+to+run+the+server
2. Try to place the cursor in the word 'Unavailable' in the search box
3. Use Option+Arrow Keys to move the cursor around

What is the expected result?
If you click, the cursor should move to that spot

What happens instead of that?
The cursor does not place itself where it should; it doesn't move. When using the arrow keys while trying to interact with the word 'Unavailable' there becomes this weird cursor movement loop.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

At 7 seconds in, I try to click to the right of '"Unavailable"' but can't. At 10/11 seconds, I try to actually click inside of '"Unavailable"' but it still doesn't work. I then click on the left side of it and the cursor successfully gets placed in 'arguments.' More clicking on the right side and inside of '"Unavailable"' but still no cursor movement. I then try to use the arrow keys and Option+Arrow keys to move the cursor to no avail. At that point, I can't even click on the left side of '"Unavailable"' despite having been able to before. I clicked on a suggested query, swipe on the keypad to go back a page, and can now move the cursor with Option+Arrow keys. But then more strangeness happens. Once the cursor hits '"Unavailable"' it jumps back and forth between the quotes. I used an app to display keystrokes and you can see me pressing Option+Right arrow to move it, and then I stopped pressing it, but the cursor continues to jump.

This was not an issue in the other browsers I tested, and it occurred even if I disabled all experiments on GWS.

Thanks for your report. I cannot reproduce this bug with 54.0.2817.0 on 10.11.6.

Does the bug reproduce in incognito mode?
Does the bug reproduce in a clean user data directory? (start chrome with --user-data-dir=/path/to/some/other/directory)
Yes, it happens in incognito mode, and it happens with a clean user data directory.

I can't reproduce this and can't see the video. Also, this seems to be a Blink issue.

I think this is also reproducible on other platforms. I can see it on Chrome OS (54.0.2824.5) in just about any text field including Google Docs / forms. Strangely the problem is not observed at 1x resolution e.g. at 2560x1700 on a Pixel 2 but can be seen at any resolution setting. The caret becomes stale and not updated and the cursor needs to be moved left to the left-most extent for it to become visible and updated again.
Making Pri-1 to get some initial attention.
