dijit.form.textarea max-height

[gerhard presser]

since dojo 1.7.3 setting the max-height attribute on a dijit.form.textarea doesn't work any more. when the content gets too big, the textarea keeps jumping to the top while typing instead of staying at the cursor positionn.

I don't see the problem. Also, Textarea no longer uses maxHeight so I'm not sure how that factors into the problem. If possible, please describe the recreate steps and the browser version using the latest 1.7.4 test page:

I want to use the textarea with max-height set to 200px. the scrollbar appears if it gets too large, but it keeps scrolling to the top.

<textarea data-dojo-type="dijit.form.Textarea" style="max-height:200px"></textarea>

I wasn't expecting people to set max-height on an auto-expanding textarea. Why didn't you want to use SimpleTextarea with max-height set?

Replying to doughays:

I want to use the benefits of both worlds - the textarea stays small with no/little content - and should be able to expand to a certain size - if it exeeds a max-height, the content should start to scroll.

Fixes #16129, #16142. Watch resize events on TEXTAREA elements for changes. Fixup scrollTop in case max-height is being set by user. Add automated tests.
