RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 5005 13460
Scrollbars for short height elements (multitext, list and other elements)

Summary Scrollbars for short height elements (multitext, list and other elements)

Safari requires a minimum height of 56 pixels to draw a functioning scrollbar on divs or textareas. So if your code and the users settings produce a smaller box (e.g. rows=4 & default settings), no scrollbar will appear no matter how many lines the user enters. On the list element, no matter how many list entries are there, the scroll bars won't show up because the list height is less than 56 pixels. This will be frustrating to the users.

Summary: Scrollbars for short height elements (multitext, list and other elements) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create HTML form with scrolling div with height of 140 pixels or less. 2. Access HTML form in Safari or latest version of WebKit 3. Enter enough data into the div you created in step 1 forcing the div to scroll. Expected Results: Scrollbar should be actionable and allow the user to scroll the content. Actual Results: Scrollbar is not actionable and doesn't allow the user to interact with it. The user can NOT scroll the content. Regression: Anytime the scroll height is less than 140 pixes. Notes: See screen shot.
