Answer 1

I know this one's a bit old, but I've just run into the same problem. The solution given here didn't help me which seemed strange. In my case it was the line height that was set to "1em". Changing the line height to something that resembled the height of the text box, rather than the size of the font it contained was the solution. This also continues to function as expected in Firefox, etc.
