Can you reproduce the bug at https://try.gitea.io:
- Yes (provide example URL)
- No
- Not relevant

Description

When editing a comment the cursor is invisible. Also any highlighted text, the highlight is invisible. This means it's quite tricky to see where you are typing or what you have selected.

This is only an issue editing a comment. Creating a new comment there seems to be no problem.

Recreated on any comment on try.gitea.io using Firefox on Linux.

Workaround seems to be to click elsewhere in the page to remove focus from the textarea and then click back inside the textarea to return focus to it. At this point something initializes as the spell checker underlines the unknown words and the cursor/highlighting becomes visible.

This seems to be fixed now since SimpleMDE has been added. The textarea no longer has focus after clicking "Edit" so a manual focus is required initially and caret and highlight is visible :)
