This is confirmed, and actually gotten much worse in the latest builds from 15-12-2006. Open the testcase, and find out that both area's don't have a scrollbar anymore!

In Firefox 1.5.0.8 and Seamonkey 1.5a-1209, I'm also not seeing a scrollbar in either area -- why are you pointing the "latest builds frmo 15-12-2006"?  What's the last build you saw where the 32px box had a scrollbar?

Also note: this sizing may relate to other criteria.  For instance, I'm running under Windows 2000 with "Large Fonts" -- that is, 120 dpi rather than the default 96.  In this configuration, I'm seeing the scrollbar threshold at 60px; below that, no scrollbar no matter how much text.

This is version:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20061215 Minefield/3.0a1
Gotten from the latest trunk. This worked in the latest trunk version about a week ago. I don't know this exactly because I have automatic updates on, so I receive the latest version about every day. But I guess this would be the version from around 7-dec 2006. I noticed the bug at first in the weblog software b2evolution in which there is an textarea to put in a new article. This area doesn't have any scrollbars any more, and also has some weird way of word-wrapping.

This is the current version I use: 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

There is nothing changed.

If the textarea field has a height below 32px the vertical scrollbars will never appear. This is independend of font type, font size and browser settings.

We need scrollbar buttons, which can change there heights!!
