Is there a way to disable scrolling on textfields? We are having a reoccuring problem where textfields that schouldn’t be scrollable still scroll for 1 line.

You can see ALL of the text in a textfield (nothing is hidden below the fold), but when you click and drag, the text field scrolls up one line. This looks really sloppy but we can’t find a fix. It seems that flash autosize makes the textfield a few pixels too short.

I’ve tried every variation I can and looked through the as docs with no luck. Any suggestions?
