A bug report. Bookmarklet doesn't work correctly in a textarea with a vertical scroll bar.

Just fill a textarea with lots of text and click on bookmarklet. First, the indicator will be hidden by the scroll bar. Second, try adding anything at the bottom of the text and you'll see the problem.

You may want to have a look at http://translit.ru for some ideas on how to overcome the scrolling issue.

Thanks for the good feedback. I think we'll need to move the indicator to the left side and pad the input to offset it, so that it's more visible.

Correcting scrolling is less trivial, and will have to wait for v2.
