145787 - TEXTAREA won't wrap text with only style-sheet widths

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0rc2) Gecko/20020510
BuildID:    2002051006

If you have a TEXTAREA component in a form, and use something like:

style="width: 500px; height: 300px" to control the size of the box, the box
sizes properly, but text is not wrapped to flow inside the box.  However, if you
add a rows= and cols= attributes to the tag, it immediately wraps text to the
dimensions of the stylesheet specified size, and ignores the cols and rows values.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a <TEXTAREA> box, using only CSS to determine the size of the box. 
View it in Mozilla.
2. Type a large amount of text into the box to the point where text should wrap,
notice nothing happens.
3. Edit the file again, and add ROWS=1 and COLS=1 to the attributes of the
TEXTAREA, and view it again.  Type a large amount of text, and notice this time
it wraps.

Actual Results:  Text does not wrap to the box the first time, and does the
second time.

Expected Results:  Mozilla should have wrapped text even when just using the
stylesheet specifications.

<TEXTAREA style="width: 200px; height: 200px">This is a lot of text that goes
inside this box but that won't be wrapped because the box doesn't do wrapping in
this mode!</TEXTAREA>

<TEXTAREA COLS="1" ROWS="1" style="width: 200px; height: 200px">This is a lot of
text that goes inside this box but that does wrapped because the box does it
correctly now.!</TEXTAREA>

Well, seems I can't repro it under RC3 now (2002052306) so I guess it's been 
fixed.
