Hi Mark and Jeremy, That's good to know. So the loss of that functionality is kind of a problem.
What I've been trying to do is make tiddlers such that the size of the tiddler can be fixed (or manually resized) and the textarea will fill the remaining space with overflow-y set to auto. That is to say, the iframe fills the remaining space (using flex). The issue I've been running into with this is that if the textarea is in an iframe, whenever I click into the textarea or keypress in it, the textarea scrolls to the top. This seems to be some kind of bug with iframes. I've dodged this issue just by using a textarea instead, but I haven't been sure what I'm losing in giving up the iframe. Any ideas how to sidestep this issue while still using an iframe?
