Interesting... I downloaded dataset-agent and removed various different styles from the textarea (with an intention of providing a PR) including the overflow-x: hidden and I tried Safari and Chrome with both the global Mac setting of Always showing scrollbars on and off. It NEVER shows the scrollbar for me.

Do you have an extension installed that is doing something weird to your textareas? Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I think for now overflow-x is fine if you are experiencing it and I am not! Let's all get on with our lives... I was probably a bit overzealous about caring all that much about a perfectly fine CSS fix.

Amusingly I just had Claude vibe code up a new tool and it has exactly the same bug! Safari only, you have to expand the "Document context" area to see it.

Here's that HTML file (frozen at the version with the bug): https://github.com/simonw/tools/blob/e7a23e8a1083ea99a5b3ef5...

It's hosted here, but I've added the overflow-x: hidden now so it's fixed: https://tools.simonwillison.net/openai-webrtc

The bug only shows up if you increase your browser font size - at default size there's no scrollbar.
