From an authoring point of view, it's not all that bad. For creating a
multimedia read-only text field, automatic scroll bars are a very GOOD
feature. It is nice to have a single type of fixed-size text field that
will automatically add scrolling when the text extends past the field's
physical extent. This is especially true if you intend to do a multilingual
text field where you are not sure what length the field is going to be when
translated to another language. It is also good where you have optional
user-selectable font size for those of us that don't read fine-print so well
anymore.
