User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (fi,en-us; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (fi,en-us; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 <textarea rows="3"></textarea> The example should create 3 lines high textarea, but instead the created area is 4 lines high. Textarea is always one line too high. Apparently Mozilla reserves extra space for horizontal scrollbar even if it not shown. Because the horizontal scrollbar is very rarely needed, the feature is merely anoying. This may be the only thing that Internet Explorer does better than Mozilla. Explorer always shows vertical scrollbar (vs. shown when needed, which leads to wraping the line again), and forcefully wraps too long words thus making horizontal scrollbar unnecessary. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. <textbox 2. rows="1" 3. >/textbox>
