Do we care that the bug here was a horizontal scrollbar showing and the fix after all this insane tool writing was to add a very obvious overflow-x: hidden to the element?

We dont mind because its so fast a writing these tools and tricks but step back and if a human tool took this path i would seriously question thief gras of fundamentals.

And how is that even a fix? The problem is that a seemingly empty textarea has overflow in the first place. Adding `overflow: hidden` just sweeps the issue under the rug.
