The text in Gecko is inside a shadow div which inherits the overflow 
value of the <input>, except if the input has overflow:visible or 
overflow:-moz-hidden-unscrollable.  In that case,  it ends up with 
overflow:auto.

There's some overflow-clip-box styling in there too.

I can't wait for this to happen.  Thank you!
