Bug 276294 – Remove `overflow: auto` for `textarea` from `StyleAdjuster.cpp`

• Status: NEW
• Component: DOM

[Ahmad Saleem]

Hi Team,

While exploring WPT failures on InterOp 2023, I noticed that we fail one test (also Chrome) for textarea:

http://wpt.live/html/rendering/non-replaced-elements/form-controls/resets.html

> <textarea> - overflow	

and noticed that we have following in `StyleAdjuster.cpp`:

https://searchfox.org/wubkat/rev/426186a23c4afc5565407d381766d9cfb9620156/Source/WebCore/style/StyleAdjuster.cpp#570

Remove this:

// Textarea considers overflow visible as auto.
        if (is<HTMLTextAreaElement>(*m_element)) {
            style.setOverflowX(style.overflowX() == Overflow::Visible ? Overflow::Auto : style.overflowX());
            style.setOverflowY(style.overflowY() == Overflow::Visible ? Overflow::Auto : style.overflowY());
        }

and we progress above but I tried to find reference in HTML WHATWG but couldn't manage to find it.

Thanks!

Strange - for some reason, it makes following pass as well.
