Max, I came across this issue when looking at the debugger window input field changing from single line to multiline.
In all DHTML browsers, if you change a single line to multiline, and change its height, you get a horizontal scrollbar appearing on the bottom. Test case below <canvas> <inputtext id="foo" width="400" multiline="false" text="${canvas.runtime}" bgcolor="#ccffcc" oninit="setAttribute('multiline', true); this.setAttribute('height', 120)" /> </canvas> It seems like the scrollbar is being displayed inside of the space normally reserved for the actual text input area. Note: in IE7 you get an error right now when changing to multiline, due to a bug in the args to the clip style in LzTextSprite (see the comment at the end of http://openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-8477) -- Henry Minsky Software Architect hmin...@laszlosystems.com
