How is this a bug?

This is simply how text areas work. There is no fault so nothing to fix. The box scrolls and has scrollbars like it should and like you'll find anywhere else. If you want to read back, use the scrollbars...

The problem i not that the box scrolls, the problem is that the box scroll when you don't want to. And as you type, it effectivelly alternates from top to bottom really fast, and altough you can scroll down, it is almost impossible to maitain there and it automatically and almost emidiatly scrolls back up.

Well there are sites that allow you to resize the text box but that just might be something Chrome does.

Oh, why didn't you say so? Anyway, I had this error on some random forum a long time ago. Yah, that's the whole story, I can't remember how I fixed it (or if I did). Actually I think whatever program got an update.

My suggestion? Try a different browser, because none of us get that error.

I can't reproduce the problem. Can you tell me what browser and its version please?

 

[Master_Ghost_Knight]

I'm using IE8 (yeah bash me). But this is the only place I get this issue. I will try to later findout the minimal ammout of characters were it is guaranteed to do that, and then you try to reproduce the problem, following that specifications, if you can't, then it is probably my browser.

 

[CosmicSpork]

I've had a google about it and it is an IE8 bug, I have implemented a work around (although I resent having to, Microsoft should make possibly one of the oldest HTML elements in existence work properly).

Let me know if it's working now

It seems to be working so far. Thx for the fix.
