Details

Load the following html into the viewer app (Win32, VC++6.0, NT4.0, optimized
build) and type words into the textarea.  When you get to the right margin the
text doesn't wrap.  The same is true with WRAP="HARD".

<html>
<form>
<body>
<TEXTAREA COLS=40 ROWS="4" WRAP="SOFT"></TEXTAREA>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Although it doesn't change the behavior, the previous html was invalid.  Here's
the corrected text.

<html>
<body>
<form>
<TEXTAREA COLS=40 ROWS="4" WRAP="SOFT"></TEXTAREA>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Paul, where did you find the wrap attribute. I can't find it in the html 4 spec.
It's not valid HTML 4 but it is supported in earlier browsers. This is a
duplicate bug, I believe... investigating...
