319202 - Resizing input boxes does not readjust containing text.

Status: NEW

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Steven Merrick]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915

When an input box is resized using Javascript and Input.size = someval, the text in the input box (if it is longer than the box or has been left-scrolled) is not readjusted to show more of the text now that the box is larger. Example:

"TestTest"

Size: 6
+------+
|stTest|
+------+

Resize: 8
+--------+
|stTest  |
+--------+

The text should be shifted right to show:

+--------+
|TestTest|
+--------+

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an input element on a webpage.
2. Place a large amount of text in the element that forces it to scroll.
3. Use getElementById("yourinput").size (or assign it to a variable, just access the .size member) and resize the element to be something larger than it currently is.

The whitespace on the right will display.
Actual Results:  
The whitespace on the right displayed.

Expected Results:  
The text should be adjusted to fill as much of the box as possible.

Looks like scrollframe fun...
