Are you talking about the white pixels top and right of the selection rectangle? I think that's always 2 pixels. You might be able to alter the position of the TextArea's internal TextField to get rid of that.

Have a look at this image to see what I mean: http://i34.tinypic.com/4uz8s0.jpg I need to remove this, and the first solution that comes to mind is to find that value and position the TextArea.y = TextArea.y - [that value]. The padding before the first line seems to be equal (in most cases) to the font's descent, which I can get from getTextLineMetrics().descent. However, this is not true in all cases. In some cases, the padding is more. Anyone have suggestions?
