Details
THis is an RFE spun off from bug 33012. I'm adding the original reporter to the
cc; line so he can track this RFE.
Current Behavior: On par with NN4.x and IE4, if you have a multiline text box
that is extending below the bottom of the visible browser content and you type
below the visible area the browser does not automatically scroll the content
pane to keep your typing visible.
Requested Behavior: Typing in a multiline text box which extends below the
visible page would cause the browser to scroll down sufficiently to see the text
you are typing.
Just in case this is vague here are simple steps to see this behavior.
1. Scroll up to the comment box in this bug report
2. Scroll to a place where only the top half of the comment box is visible on
the page.
3. Start typing at the top of the comment box.
4. Type several lines until the text you are typing is off the screen
5. Note that the main browser window does not scroll to keep your text visible.

Moving to HTML Form Controls, as they would have to be very involved in the
implementation of this (with Event Handling?)

I just checked in a re-write of the selection auto-scrolling code for another
bug, which gave us this feature for free.
