Currently, if the author of a page specifies a max-width or max-height on a textarea, the user is unable to drag-resize the textarea beyond that max-width. This is bad. If I want a textarea to be big, I shouldn't be stopped by an author's misguided limitation (perhaps for layout or design reasons, or perhaps for no good reason at all). Theoretically, a drag-resize of a textarea is equivalent to an !important width/height declaration at the user-stylesheet level. This overrides all other rules. I propose that it should also be treated as a max-width/max-height declaration at the same level. (Treating it as a min-width/height declaration as well would be consistent, but isn't strictly necessary to address my concern.) Testcase: data:text/html,%3C!DOCTYPE%20html%3E%3Ctextarea%20style%3Dmax-width%3A400px%3E%3C%2Ftextarea%3E Load this up, and attempt to drag-resize the textarea to more than 400px wide. Expected: The user should be able to resize the textarea to whatever size they desire. Actual: The textarea cannot be sized to more than 400px wide.
