User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_3) AppleWebKit/536.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/20.0.1130.1 Safari/536.11 Steps to reproduce: On absolutely-positioned <textarea> and <div> elements, I set CSS `top:`, `bottom:`, `left:` and `right:`. To make sure it's not a different issue, both elements were given `position:absolute; display:block; width:auto; height:auto;`. The test site can be seen here: http://aesoft.org/zarel/rq/firefox/textarealayout.html Actual results: The <div> element stretched its width and height to fit the specified `top:`, `bottom:`, `left:`, and `right:`, but the <textarea> element ignored `bottom:` and `right:`. Expected results: Both elements should stretch.

This is the right behavior per spec. Chrome just gets it wrong. Gecko, Opera, and IE all get this right. See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81863
Note, in particular, that <img> would act just like <textarea>, for the same reasons. <div> is not a replaced element, unlike <img> and <textarea>.
