Build ID: 20140506152807

Steps to reproduce:

Paste a few items of text into a Facebook comment. 


Actual results:

The text field expands but is missing a line resulting in either the first or last line not appearing. 


Expected results:

Text field should expand to match the number of lines that are posted. Checked in Chrome and didn't see an issue there.

I notice when you type a into a full field that only after a few words are added does the field expand. Initially it hides the top line. That might be a better clue to checking the error. I haven't disabled plugins. The impact of this error is annoying so I'm sure if it was present in the previous version of FF I would have noticed it.

I can reproduce the issue. Pasting a long text hides the first line. Maybe a site issue.

In addition to this there is an effect on the hot linking of names.

When you hotlink a user name in Facebook it is highlighted in blue. This blue highlighting is occurring 2 lines below the name in Facebook during edit of a post. 

The issue is seemingly connected to the fact that the text box isn't expanding to the correct size.

I've check this in Chrome and no issue exist that can blamed on Facebook code.

Further, I think both these issues are very serious as they have a significant impact on user experience on one of the web's most used sites. We I not a committed user I would personally switch to Chrome because of this annoyance.
