User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6

In Firefox 3.6 the following element:
<html:textarea style="height: 100%"/> doesn't expand as its container does.
Example code is listed below, look at the element with ID WML_Writer_Text, Dialog box is resizable, and every single element is getting resized with the page except this html:textarea element. Used to work perfectly with Firefox 3.5.7

<dialog xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"
		xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
		title="&wmlWriter.windowTitle;"
		id="WML_Writer"
		style="width:500px; height:350px;"
		persist="screenX screenY width height"
		ondialogcancel="org.technoLinguistics.wml.WmlWriterPage.onWriterCancel()"
		ondialogaccept="org.technoLinguistics.wml.WmlWriterPage.onWriterAccept()"> 
			
	<script type="application/x-javascript" src="chrome://wml/content/lib/wml_prototype.js"/>	
	<script type="application/x-javascript" src="chrome://wml/content/service/wml_writer.js"/>
	
	<html:div id="WML_Writer_Joker"></html:div>
	
	<dialogheader title="&wmlWriter.dialogTitle;" description="&wmlWriter.dialogDescription;"/>
    <groupbox style='padding:10px;' flex="1">
    	<stack flex="1">
    		<html:div style="border:none; -moz-stack-sizing:ignore">
    			<html:textarea id="WML_Writer_Text" style="height: 100%; width:100%"//>
    			<html:div id="WML_Writer_Caret"/>
    		</html:div>
      		<html:div id="WML_Writer_Wrap" class="wmlWriterWrap" style="display:none"></html:div>
    	</stack>
   	</groupbox>
   
</dialog>

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Only html:textarea width is getting adjusted when its container(window) is resized, while the height stays the same.

Expected Results:  
Height as well as Width should be modified on resize of the window.

This code is from wml_writer.xul file in Write My Language addon.

Not sure that moz-stack-sizing exists anymore.
