(Firefox :: General, defect)

Whenver i'm making a post on bulletin boards, or composing an email with
google's gmail.com, the scrollers in the text windows are gone.  For
example...instead of Firefox wrapping the text automatically like Internet
Explorer does, it just continues to write toward the right of the screen, and
only a horizontal scroll bar is shown.  It's the same situation with
forums/bulletin boards.  I know this is a bug because I have seen this on
multiple other computers using FireFox.

Basically, imagine typing a document in NotePad without wordwrap.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit www.gmail.com, or www.hotmail.com, or www.harmonycentral.com (and be
sure to register on the forums to try and post a message).
2.Try to compose an email
3.You will see that no matter how much you type, a vertical scrollbar can not be
seen.  The text just continues on to right instead of wrapping around and using
a vertical scrollbar to see the message in its' entirety.

Actual Results:  
The scrollbar/wordwrap was still missing.

Expected Results:  
It should have created a vertical scrollbar instead of a horizontal one, so the
message is more compact and easier to see than scrolling horizontally all the
time, or the nuissance of pressing "enter" at the end of each line.
