[Laszlo-dev] DHTML inputtext shows scrollbars when you change it from single line to multiline

[P T Withington]

We're probably missing some logic somewhere.  This area has changed a  
lot recently with the changes for dropshadows.  Maybe we need some  
refactoring in the sprite to put all the computation of the clipping  
mask in one place and have it be called by any routine that changes  
the properties that can affect it (height, width, multiline,  
scrollevents, etc.)
