User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.6; Linux; X11; de) KHTML/4.6.0 (like Gecko) SUSE
Build Identifier: Firefox 4.0b12 for openSUSE 11.4
Firefox has a new feature that makes all textareas resizeable.
However, it is not able to resize a textbox if width and height are specified
with !important. (If only the width is specified with !important, the height can be changed.)
I'd expect to have every textarea resizable, even if the size is specified with
!important.
If you really want to give !important priority over manually resizing, the
resize handler should be hidden if both width and height are specified with
!important.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. save the following as HTML file:
<html><head><style>
textarea { width: 200px !important; }
</style></head><body>
<textarea rows=5 cols=30>resize me!</textarea>
</body></html>
2. open the file in Firefox
3. try to resize the text box
Actual Results:
Only the height can be changed, the width is fixed.
Expected Results:
Height and width can be changed.

The resizer just sets style.width and style.height, so !important rules override it... We could have the resizer use !important styles in style.width/height, I guess. Neil, what do you think?

This seems to be working according to the spec. Safari and Chromium have the same behavior.
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-ui/#ref-for-propdef-width
There may be situations in which user attempts to resize an element appear to be overridden or ignored, e.g. because of !important cascading declarations that supersede that element’s style attribute width and height properties in the DOM.
