  Description:
  
  Customer is using text input widget, customer disable the edit
  
  function for the text, if the input text is larger than

Local fix

• One workaround in IE is to use the mouse to scroll the content
  of the text input widget by pressing the left key of the mouse
  while inside the widget, holding it, and dragging the mouse
  down. This will scroll through the text just like it would if
  the scrollbar were working.

  This problem occurred because read-only heritage coach text-
  areas "looked" editable, but of course, were not.  The goal was
  to make them "look" read-only in 7.5.  This issue was resolved
  by making the text-area "disabled" when read-only.  This made
  the text-area grayed-out. In IE, the disabled text-area does not
  have a scrollbar, which means that you can not scroll through
  the content of a read-only text-area.
  

Problem conclusion

• This issue was resolved by removing the "disabled" attribute and
  instead just graying-out the read-only text-area through the
  color attributes of the text-area.
  
  Install/Dependency information is available in the readme.txt on
  FixCentral. When the user goes to the download files page in
  FixCentral, the readme will be available with the fix package as
  a separate download.
