When updating a TEXTAREA element using the DOM, the result can be ugly. Relatively long pauses and slow draws cause visible screen flicker in the TEXTAREA element.

Using Windows NT4 myself. This could be a Windows-specific problem, but I'll leave the Platform/OS to All/All for now.

The flickering is even worse if some text in the TEXTAREA is selected while the contents is updated. Take a look at: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42819 Select some lines is the textfield, then move over the red DIV to generate textarea contents updates.
