Hello all,

Is it possible to stop a text area components scroll thumb resizing?

I have made my own custom scrollthumb and when it loads depending on how much content is inside of the text area it will scale to size, so if there is not much text in the area it will scale large and when there is a lot it will scale small.

When it scales my scroller looks all warped??

Any help would be so greatly appreciated!!
