CodeMirror doesn't scroll down completely, Cursor is hidden behind div
Question
I would like to use the very excellent texteditor CodeMirror in fullscreen mode in a browser window and I would like to add a fixed header for some kind of menu - or at least space for a few buttons with some functionality.
So I've added a div with "position: fixed" to the top and added a padding-top to the div with the codemirror object. The problem comes up, when there's enough text that scrolling happens. After moving the cursor down/scrolling the content up and moving the cursor up again, the cursor goes behind the div but the content doesn't scroll fully down. Cursor is hidden, I cannot see the content. Only scrolling via scrollbar works.
Do I need to change the html/css with the fixed div? Or do I need to check whether the cursor comes behind/under the div and I have to let CodeMirror scroll manually? I tried this but didn't manage to do it programmatically :-(

I found a solution on my own.
Instead of two overlapping divs, I use two divs (non-overlapping), with style " position: absolute ". They don't overlap, so scrolling is fine.

var editor = CodeMirror.fromTextArea(document.getElementById('content'), {

lineNumbers: true
});
</script>

I hope I can get some comments about possible side effects or drawbacks of the position absolute. Otherwise it seems to be fine for me.
