This works fine for me using http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/I20180516-2000/

The given steps leave room for variations. Please provide exact detailed steps starting with a new workspace and using above build.

Unzip that build ^
open a new workspace
Create a java project
add a class with a main method
See that the caret is visible
open the javadoc view
click back in the editor
caret is gone

I can reproduce now, even with 3.8. Interesting that there wasn't any report about that in the past.

Key is to not click on the input element of the Javadoc view.

Moving to JDT Text, but could also be an SWT bug.

Yes indeed. I see this bug for a long time already but never had the energy to report it.

Indeed, but sometimes you want to follow links in the javadoc.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
