#4573 Autoexpanding textarea doesn't expand at the right rate in Firefox
Our textareas that autoexpand (e.g. comment boxes) do not expand at the right rate in Firefox, so you can't see what you're typing when you're typing a lot. It works fine in Chrome.
We've evaluated autoexpanding javascript libraries in the past, and there are a lot of bad ones (inaccurate, performance problems, etc) so I don't want to change which library we are using. Rather, I think/hope that this can be fixed with something like changing how the CSS is applied. There is a possibility that this varies between the allura theme and the SourceForge theme.

This issue only occurs with jquery 1.8.0 due to a “bug” in jQuery 1.8 that returns “1” instead of “normal” for the CSS value of “line-height” when “line-height: normal” is set
This issue doesn't occur with jquery 1.8.1, so updating jquery should help.
We need jQuery 1.8.1 in sfpy to fix a bug in how onready is fired in IE, so +1 to upgrading. For the record, the bug that's bit us a couple times now is that the onready code fires early in IE. If it references functions or variables that are defined elsewhere in the page, they may not be loaded/defined yet.
Thanks
