Comment on That Weird IE8 Textarea Bug by Phil

Just a note – this also happens when the width is set to a px value and you have javascript activating on textarea input – I have a jQuery script that says “you have X characters left” when typing in the textarea and this problem rears its ugly head. Also setting a fixed value for the height may possibly fix the problem

With this being the first programming language I learned, and QuickBASIC being the second, it’s a miracle I ever managed to wrap my brain around modern languages at all.

That made me laugh out of recognition.

Thank you for writing this article, it was very enjoyable! I particularly liked you attention to ZZT-OOP, it tends to get overlooked and it’s one of the most charming aspects of ZZT.

Thanks. I have been having an issue with FCKEditor and some strange scrolling errors. Hopefully this fix will do the trick.

Hey Alex!

I don’t really have much to add, but it was the same for me, ZZT OOP was my first programming language and what got me into game programming I think. I do love it’s simplicity, and I think if Tim Sweeney isn’t going to pursue his idea, mentioned in the quote at the bottom there, then someone most certainly should!

I have stumbled upon this scenario as well. The fix in my case was to not only use the fix outline in this post, but to also apply an explicit height style.

…Awesome.
