See attached images. When I click on TextArea scroll bar, border becomes green and the text is highlighted. It does not matter if _selectable_ is _true_ or _false_.

This odd behaviour seems to occur after Flash Player 7,0,19,0 is installed. And I am not sure what version I had before. It looks ok when previewing in Flash MX 2004. This thing only happens in browsers.

What AS can eliminate this odd behaviour?
