Unfortunately the CSS-specs say, that background-attachment:fixed 
adjusts the background relative to the viewport, not the element itself. 
So that's not an option here ... But thanks for the tip anyway.

I found out, that IE's initial value for overflow is "scroll" - that's 
why in MS' browsers the scrollbars are always shown. So setting it to 
"overflow:auto" you get the same behavoir like in FF: The scrollbars 
only appear when there's to much content for the textarea. So that's a 
little bit of good news here, at least.

Overflow:hidden isn't an option for me as it would lack usability.

As there seems to be no other solution so far I think I'll switch to an 
extension - although it's kind of an overkill. ;-)

Thanks for your tips,
Michael
