Hi, I have tried it and it seem to me that this is a issue. It seems to me that the scroll values are applied on the wrong DOM node.
If you can modified the TextArea class than override the original methods by adding these methods to it: getScrollLeft : function() { this._visualPropertyCheck(); return this._getTargetNode().children[0].scrollLeft; }, getScrollTop : function() { this._visualPropertyCheck(); return this._getTargetNode().children[0].scrollTop; }, getScrollWidth : function() { this._visualPropertyCheck(); return this._getTargetNode().children[0].scrollWidth; }, getScrollHeight : function() { this._visualPropertyCheck(); return this._getTargetNode().children[0].scrollHeight; }, setScrollLeft : function(nScrollLeft) { this._visualPropertyCheck(); this._getTargetNode().scrollLeft.children[0] = nScrollLeft; }, setScrollTop : function(nScrollTop) { this._visualPropertyCheck(); this._getTargetNode().scrollTop.children[0] = nScrollTop; }, Hope this solves your issue.
