Does this work right for you in other applications?
I have tried the test case in Firefox and it works correctly. This bug seems to be specific to WebKit native text areas. I can reproduce it on a G4 but not on an Intel Mac, so it might be a performance issue.
I still can't reproduce this bug on my Intel Mac. I will try it on another G4 as soon as I can.
Can't reproduce anymore, either the bug has been fixed or it was never there in the first place.
I think there were some closely related bugs reported recently - Ryosuke might remember.
Fixed in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/81053. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 56213 ***
