1) see the attachment i created.
- the main layout is done through a 2 column table (blue border), the left col
only contains the textarea, the right some divs.
- two grey divs are curently visible, 3 more have been hidden onload via
javascript by setting their .style.display to 'none'.
- the + and - symbols will show / hide more or less div elements. works nicely.
- but the textarea in the left column (which is specified height:100%) does only
resize one time to the new table height. on the 2nd and nth  click it doesnt
change anymore.
- you can get it to update it's size if you resize the window horizontally. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. click the [+] symbol in attachment twice
OR 
1. click the [+] symbol in attachment once
2. click the [-] symbol once

Actual Results:  textarea only resized on first click and then keeps whatever
height it has taken.

Expected Results:  textarea should adapt to current table height

maybe i should add that Mozilla 1.0 also shows the bug.
worse, it doesn't even resize the textarea once.
