Description

This masked input seems to work great when entering values in succession, but when entering values in the middle of the string the caret typically jumps to the end of the input on reformatting. I would expect the caret to be after the character typed.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the caret positioning logic in the AngularJS input mask directive and identify where the caret jumps to the end when editing in the middle.
