I used the "inspect element" feature in Safari and got the following...
<textarea id="textarea" wrap="soft" onchange="editArea.execCommand("onchange");" onfocus="javascript:editArea.textareaFocused=true;" onblur="javascript:editArea.textareaFocused=false;" classname="null hidden" class="null hidden" style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 10pt; width: 100%; height: 1365px; line-height: 15px; margin-left: -3px; "> </textarea> When I toggle the "margin-left: -3px;" attribute off the shadow goes away. Also, the 'find' function in Safari will report twice as many matches as there really are...one for the shadow and one for the primary text. I look though styles.css but didn't anything that looked like it is setting the margin-left. Any thoughts on where else to look? CSS is not my strong suite. Thanks for your help so far...
