Open that page, then CTRL-T (File - New Tab) and open another webpage. if you change back to the Testcase and scroll down, the textarea is cut of at lorem ipsum paragraph 53 - but the original textarea has 63 paragraphs.

2. CTRL-T for new tab
3. go to www.mozilla.org or any other url
4. click on the tab of the Testcase
5. Textarea has only 53 paragraphs left
Actual Results:
Textarea is cut off
Expected Results:
Textarea should stay at the scroll state i was las in, or at least have the full contents of the textarea present

Sorry, should've checked without extensions first.
The culprit is the Google Firefox Toolbar. With that extension alone the aforementioned behaviour can be observered

I'm not sure why this bug is reported as resolved. I'm using FF 1.5.0.6 & I have the same problem. I note someone below saying this may be caused by Google Toolbar, which I'm using.
Has anyone reported a fix for this? It's driving me crazy. Whenever I write a long blog post & visit another open tag, the text gets truncated. If I save the edited post before realizing the text has been removed then I've lost all the previous work I've created. This has happened to me numerous times.

Issues with extensions should be reported to the extension author so he can fix the problem. In the meantime you might want to try the Googlebar Lite extension:

This is fixed in version 2.1.20060713 of the Google Toolbar. It's available from toolbar.google.com, and it should show up as an update in the extension manager.

Thanks, Annie for that update. I switched over to Googlebar in the hopes that I would avoid the issue with it. Though I disabled the Google Toolbar I also updated it to the newer version in case I ever decide to go back to using it.
It would be nice when bug are resolved if the person who marks that it is resolved would also explain briefly how it was resolved.
