The class that handles this is RenderTextControlMultiLine, which is  
derived from RenderTextControl, then from RenderBlock. Like any other  
block, if the CSS overflow is set appropriately there can be scroll  
bars. You should see a RenderTextControlMultiLine in the render tree,  
with functions like scrollsOverflowX() and scrollsOverflowY()  
indicating the presence of scroll bars.
