Not Feasible

Implementing this feature is not possible now or in the foreseeable future

Because scrollbars don't appear when necessary on multi-line inputs (as discussed in bug 1106) and because scrolling doesn't work in embedded browser controls, there is no good way to accept multi-line input. Would it be possible for input controls to display scrollbars when appropriate?

Lummox JR	No, for the same reason as in bug 1106. The single-line input and multi-line input are the same control. This isn't feasible without first developing a fix for 1106.

Nickr5	Okay. What about adding a new type of control (or changing the control that is used to one) that does this? I'm not sure what your options are, but I do know that .NET has a RichTextBox control which takes care of scrollbars automatically.

Lummox JR	We're not using .NET, but that doesn't necessarily rule out the option of using such a control. However I suspect that changing the control type isn't in the cards.
