(Whiteboard: [wontfix? see comment 1]) 

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ru; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ru; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14

When typing a long message in the textarea with fixed width, a horizontal scroll bar appears rather than a vertical.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
type long word in text area
example: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


Expected Results:  
long text should wrap as in IE
Severity: minor → enhancement
OS: Windows XP → All
Hardware: PC → All
Version: unspecified → Trunk
For what I know IE behaviour is not W3C compliant.
To Tech Evangelism or INVALID?

CONFIRMED: This issue does occur on 3.0 for the latest release: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.20) Gecko/20081217 Firefox/2.0.0.20, but it's gone on trunk as well as 1.9.1....


textbox wraps for me on the following builds:


Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090522 Minefield/3.6a1pre ID:20090522032716

and

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1pre) Gecko/20090522 Shiretoko/3.5pre ID:20090522030802


and back checked on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.20) Gecko/20081217 Firefox/2.0.0.20

Is this a wontfix?

Yeah, if this is broken on 1.9.0, unless it regressed recently, it's a WONTFIX.

As a 1.9.0 bug this is indeed wontfix.

Of course the right resolution here is probably to mark this duplicate of the long-standing RFE we implemented in 1.9.1...
