42542 - filling text field causes horizontal scrollbar to appear when using native scrollbars, also corrupted display

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[Barry Pederson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; m16) Gecko/20000614
BuildID:    200061408

When using Native Scrollbars, if you enter more text than will fit
in a field, a horizintal scrollbar appears, making the field  unreadable.  Using
GFX scrollbars doesn't seem to cause this problem. (so why use native
scrollbars? the dang gfx scrollbars don't work with wheelmice on WinNT - bug 20618)

Text fields also have a corrupted display under Native scrollbars, with
characters often not showing up unless you cover and uncover the field to cause
a repaint.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the debug preferences turn off Gfx Scrollbars
2. Open a new browser window, and go to a page with a text input field, such as
Bugzilla
3. Type in enough text to exceed the width of the field

Actual Results:  A horizontal scrollbar appears, covering up the input field so
you can't see what you're typing

Expected Results:  Text should just shift to the left

Native scrollbars are not part of the platform, they are unsupported, and only 
left in as long as they are useful for debugging.  resolving as wontfix.
