Karl,
I wish I could give you some good news, but instead I can only

FF 2 had all sorts of problems like that. Try having an absolutely
positioned div overlapping the scrollbar of a div with overflow:
scroll.
Ugly. I even recall seeing a cursor in one tab's textarea blinking
through
to the currently visible tab. Those problems appear to have been
fixed in
FF3.
FF3 works as expected. I know FF2 has a few bizarre issues like
this, but I
just thought placing a div overlay over an input field was common
enough
that there might be a fix for the issue.

Hey Dan,
I think I have a workaround for you. When you place the div overlay
over the input field, set the input field's contentEditable attribute
to false. $('yourInput').attr('contentEditable', false)
Then when you remove the overlay, set it back to 'inherit'.
Not fully tested. But maybe it'll at least get you closer.
