Hi IanK -- I know you've been looking at textarea layout in the near-recent past -- do you know if there's a good reason that Chromium only reserves some height for the scrollbars here when `word-wrap:normal` is present? (comparing my attached testcase 3 vs. testcase 1, or testcase 4 vs. testcase 2)

Superficially, it's quite odd[1] that that `word-wrap` influences the textarea height.  But it'd be nice to be able to reach interop on this, if it's possible to describe the behavior in an interoperable & ideally speccable sort of way.

(I can see how a horizontal scrollbar is **more-likely** with `word-wrap:normal`, but it's still possible without that style, as shown by testcase 1 and 2.)

[1] (I can see how a horizontal scrollbar would be **more likely** with `word-wrap:normal` -- but it's still possible without that style, as shown by testcase 1 and 2, so it seems strange to unconditionally not-reserve vs. always-reserve height for the scrollbar depending on the computed `word-wrap`.)

[1] (I can see how a horizontal scrollbar would be **more likely to be needed** with `word-wrap:normal` -- but it's still possible that it'll be needed even without that style, as shown by testcase 1 and 2; so it seems strange to unconditionally not-reserve vs. always-reserve height for the scrollbar depending on the computed `word-wrap`.)
