Hello,

Can the scroll event support for textarea and input[type=text] elements be specified?

Current scroll event support:

browser input[type=text] textarea[wrap=off]
Safari - +
Chrome - +
Firefox + +
Edge + +

update: Chrome 111 does fire the event, Safari 16.1 still does not.

It seems, all these browsers also support scrollLeft property for those elements.

I have opened an issue at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1007153#c3 .

I am trying to make a text editing widget with a syntax highlighting based on a transparent input element with non-transparent caret (caret-color/-webkit-fill-text-color).
May be, the use case is wrong, and I should try to use contenteditable=plaintext-only, scrollbar-width: none; and do something to prevent line breaks (btw, what ?), but the browser support is not good now.
