I’ve had this problem in FF3 but this time not related to iframe or overflow
setting but because of disabling input for a moment.If someone stumbles upon same issue, this may help:
Testcase to reproduce problem:
textarea.disabled = true;
setTimeout(function() {
textarea.disabled = false;
textarea.focus();
}, 0);
How to fix it:
textarea.blur(); // blur first
textarea.disabled = true;
setTimeout(function() {
textarea.disabled = false;
textarea.focus();
}, 0);
