the position of cursor when first click a textarea

I found a problem that I am puzzled. It's just a simple , Under normal circumstances,when I click a textarea, the cursor is always at the beginning of the textarea,but today when i type the code like this

  <textarea rows="3"></textarea>

on a Chrome extesion web page,the cursor changes it's position with the click position. I swear there's no extra JS or css on the page

There should not be a any space or in tab between <textarea></textarea> open and close tags.

If got space or tab between tags it will behave strangely.

Check in your code if you have tabs in between opening and closing textarea tags. Some IDEs insert tabs upon auto-formatting.

I had the same strange problem. I hacked around it by using the following:

document.getElementById('element-id').innerText = '';

I would love to know the real reason for it occurring.
