933704 - Editing a template leads to two vertical scrollbar

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Jean-Yves Perrier [:teoli]]

What did you do?
================
1. Go to a long macros, like https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Template:CustomCSS$edit 
2. Scroll to the line with .htab

What happened?
==============
The scrolling is a nightmare, it leads to two scrollbars. And I wanted to throw the computer away. Needed to go inside the box, scroll a bit go outside the editor, rescroll back a bit to have everything shown again.

Took me about 3 minutes to reach the right line. 

What should have happened?
==========================
1 scollbar, never more. We want the same behavior there than with the regular article editing box.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
Not blocking the launch of the redesign, but we need this in Q4. Sorry I can't work with this anymore.

Is this a new behavior?  I can make the textarea smaller to fit the screen, if so desired...

Does this only happen with the redesign? I assume so, and will set this as grouped with bug 910513 (the tracking bug for all proposed launch blockers) accordingly. Please let me know if I am mistaken.

I just checked legacy design vs. current design, and the current behavior isn't new.
