If I'm on a webpage with a form that has a textarea, and the text area has more
lines of text than it has lines of display, it's pretty natural to hit the
page-down or page-up to scroll through that text. Ideally, this should move the
cursor down/up a page, so that if i type into the textarea, my text shows up in
the text i'm currently viewing, not the last point where the cursor was before i
hit page up/down.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to web page with textarea
2.type a lot in the textarea so it now has more lines than rows displayed.
3.hit the page up key.
4.type something. D'oh! the cursor was still at the bottom of the textarea where
you stopped typing.

Expected Results:  Mozilla should have moved the text-entry cursor up a "page"
in the textarea.
