Textarea: problem displaying empty dijit.form.Textarea in Safari

[ben hockey]

an empty dijit.form.Textarea does not display properly. it shows a box that is shorter than a box with content and the box does not resize as you add content to it.

in the current test for dijit.form.Textarea (​http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dijit/tests/form/test_Textarea.html) i don't see a test for an empty Textarea. it may be appropriate to add an empty Textarea to this test as well.

this does not happen in 1.2.3 - only in trunk.

I'm not sure what you are getting at. An empty <div> is also shorter than a <div> with content. This is not a bug, but the way that <div>'s and Textarea are designed to work.

Are you saying that it's too short to input any text?

Also, Textarea was redesigned since the 1.2 release. Are you having problems on the trunk code?

Replying to bill:

Are you saying that it's too short to input any text?

yes. the TextArea? in safari is too short to enter text and if it is empty to begin with, it does not resize as you try to add content. also, attempting to add content is not successful - .attr("value") returns empty.

Also, Textarea was redesigned since the 1.2 release. Are you having problems on the trunk code?

yes. my problem is with trunk (confirmed using revision 16438)
