TextArea: can only enter a single char on last line (Safari 3.1/mac/romaji IME)

[bill]

1. Load test_Textarea.html on safari 3.1/mac.
2. Focus on "this is a very simple resizable text area"
3. make sure caret is at end of line, and hit return
4. type "a" key multiple times. only one "a" appears

I feel like there was another bug open about this that was fixed (but not against safari 3.1), but I can't find it now.

Note that it works correctly on Safari 3.1/windows.

Note that apparently no one is seeing this bug besides me.

The solution I have to remove the <fieldset> seems like it works but of course any such change is scary.

I figured out this only happens for me. I'm running MacOS English but with the Japanese IME. When it's set to "romaji" rather than "U.S." the problem happens. "Romaji" and "U.S." are essentially the same setting (except that the former causes this bug :-( ).

I just asked someone to try a Japanese OS and this doesn't reproduce for them either; I guess it's a really esoteric bug that we shouldn't bother fixing.
