yes it is because of the overflow:hidden, sorry i overlooked this as i am using a jquery plugin to autogrow the textarea as u type into it.. remove the overflow and style the:

form#whats-new-form #whats-new-textarea {

-moz-border-radius:3px 3px 3px 3px;

background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;

border:1px inset #CCCCCC;

margin-bottom:10px;

padding:8px;

}

form#whats-new-form textarea {

border:medium none;

color:#555555;

font-family:inherit;

font-size:14px;

height:60px;

margin:0;

padding:0;

width:100%;

}

this is what testbp.org has

or simply get firebug addon and use with firefox
