Textarea - cannot scroll full length of text

I have an intermittent (infuriating) problem with Textarea elements that
refuse to scroll the full length of the available text.

For example:-

<textarea name="_id3:HackSwiftWP_ctlWorkOut_messtext"
id="_id3:HackSwiftWP_ctlWorkOut_messtext" rows="16"
onkeypress="allowCarriageReturn(event);" style="" class="TIedit"
onblur="return(v_checkString(event,this,130800,0)) " onchange="return
(v_checkString(event,this,130800,0) && v_isFormValid());"
wrap="off">{1:F01KAPIGB2L15439999999999}{2:I700BAR CGB2LXXXXN1}{4:
:27:1/1
:40A:IRREVOCABLE

</textarea>

This example will no doubt work if just copied into an HTML page and opened.
Styles that are applied via CSS are

font: 75% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
width: 100%
overflow: auto
color: #000000
font-size:100%

Hi Rob,

Loose the overflow. KISS
