From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) BuildID: 2001101117 This page uses divs to implement a tab-based navigation scheme, and hides/unhides the divs to show content under the selected tab. The bug is that on the unselected tabs (with the div hidden) there are textarea fields with scroll bars. The scroll bars do not hide when the div is hidden, so you see the scrollbars for all text areas, even the hidden ones. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit http://www.oraclesmallbusiness.com/portal/portal.nl?mode=welcome 2. Log in as dj@oraclesb.com with password foobar1 3. Visit https://system.oraclesmallbusiness.com/accounting/transactions/findtran.nl 4. Click between the "General", "Billing" and "Custom Fields" tabs. Actual Results: You will see the spurious scrollbars on hte hidden divs showing when they should be hidden. Expected Results: When each div is hidden, the scrollbars on those text areas should be hidden, too. This page works properly in IE5.x, IE6.0 and Netscape 4.x.

Confirming issue in the Nov 8th build under OS X and Windows 2000.

Reassigning to Rod.

Note that the issue is that select multiple displays the scroll bars when contained in a hidden div. A text area contained within a hidden div does not show the bug.

This is a very visible bug which affects a major site. Is it possible to get this fixed sooner than 1.0.1?

The title of the bug is a bit misleading since the scrollbars for textareas do get hidden. It's the <select>'s scrollbar which stays visible, probably because we use native list box widgets on every platform. You can tell it's native because it's scrollbars don't match the theme scrollbars which text widgets do use. Back to rods at his request. Changing summary from: Scrollbars on textareas in hidden divs aren't hidden to: Scrollbars on <select> in hidden divs aren't hidden
