When composing email from either Yahoo or Excite accounts the message plain text
box looses the cursor position. The longer the message gets the further away to
the right the cursor moves, making it extremely difficult to edit mistyped text.
I believe this bug is in the <textarea> form on both sites. I tested this with
alternate browsers on the Mac (Safari, IE) and the problem is not there.
I've also used Firefox on PC and I believe I didn't run into those problems either.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open mail.yahoo.com email account
2.Select "compose message"
3.type in long message in the message box

Actual Results:  
cursor start losing its position on the screen

Expected Results:  
cursor should stay with the text

Sounds like a dup of bug 284008... and I think bug 284008 dups to something else...
