Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 155458

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Sam]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

if a long URL is entered in a textarea and it is told to wordwrap, it won't. it
should wrap to the following row as it does in IE, etc. the textarea shouldnt
scroll horizontally as it currently does.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.goto page
2.enter long, one-word past the width of the textarea

Actual Results:  
the textarea scrolls to the right (and down if the height is passed as well)

Expected Results:  
wraped it to the next row. if there were multiple long URLs for example it would
eventually scroll vertically instead of both.

Should be in Core / Layout: Form Controls.

Anyway, this is probably not a bug per
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155458#c3
