Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

If you don't specify a border on a textarea in Firefox+Ubuntu it picks up system default styles(!) including border radius, margin, padding and background color:

As soon as a border rule is added these all disappear:

The above style is shown momentarily on the edit textarea before WikiEditor loads, and permanently if WikiEditor is not enabled:
