Descriptive Problem Summary:

When using a multi-line input control with a lot of text scrollbars will never appear. This kind of defeats the purpose of a multi-line input.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:

1) Create an empty project.
2) Create an interface.
3) Add a multi-line input to the interface.
4) Spit enough text into the input to make it overflow.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:

Expected Results:

Scrollbars!

Actual Results:

No scrollbars! :(

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Every time.
In other games? Yes.
In other user accounts? Yes.
On other computers? Yes.

When does the problem NOT occur?

Never.

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)

Seems to be happening as far back as I'm willing to look (around 6 releases)

Workarounds:

Use a browser input and be limited heavily by what you can send to the game.
I always believed multi-line inputs were supposed to function as the input type "message" which also does not have scroll bars.
Both should probably have scrollbars, if it has room to scroll it should have scrollbars =P
Agree'd~!
