If you give this fiddle a look - http://jsfiddle.net/w00fz/yuCTU/ - you'll find that when you populate the textarea with content that overflows its visible bottom, the down arrow scrolling will not scroll the length of the content. Instead it starts scrolling the page when it reaches the textarea's visible bottom. Feel free to ping me if any further explanation is needed.

I can see this Behavior back to Firefox 2.

We really should correct this. I have even been alerted to cases where developers are unable to force the proper scroll behavior with JavaScript, which is also troubling.
