There are actually two problems
1) the style rule for textarea in html.css should have "overflow:scroll" so the 
textarea always has scrollbars.

2) When in Gfx mode "overflow:scroll" doesn't create the scrollbars, with native 
scrollbars it does.

One reason might be that the GfxTextControlFrame calls 
sv->SetScrollPreference(scrollPref) where scrollPref is equal to 
"nsScrollPreference_kAlwaysScroll"

The call is really a call to:
nsIScrollableView::SetScrollPreference
which is really a call to:
nsScrollPortView::SetScrollPreference
which doesn't do anything, it just returns

My guess is this is an evaughan bug, but starting out in editor land.
nominating for nsbeta2, because the textarea has to have scrollbars even when 
there is nothing to scroll. making it a regression because it worked with native 
scrollbars

Is this still an issue?
The code referenced is obsolete, and it's not clear what the bug was really about.
