Add border to HTML field when its read only ( medium/hard easy points )

[juan casas]

I know its a property, but I am kinda running out of time to research.

when a field of type=html becomes read only, the border around the field goes away, can I make this stop?

Description

HTML fields that are set to be read-only cause the scrollbars to disappear.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an HTML field
2. Create a Field style:
   
   • resize: both;
   • overflow: scroll;
   • height: 200px;
3. Add the field to form, ie sc_req_item, incident
4. Add content to field forcing scroll windows to appear
5. Set the field read-only in the dictionary

Expected result: Scrollbars still appear despite being read-only (element is overflow: scroll)

Actual result: Scrollbars disappear so unable to read all data in the field (element is overflow: hidden)

Workaround

This issue has been fixed. If you are able to upgrade, review the Fixed In or Intended Fix Version fields to determine whether any versions have a planned or permanent fix.
