Thought: several people reported issues with missing scrollbars in the textarea. Although I my plugin is not the cause, I can offer a possible solution.
To get scrollbars, the textarea element needs a rows attribute. So, I could add an option for the plugin to add a rows attribute with a default value of something like 5 to the textarea, if the textarea does not already have a rows attribute. Adding a rows attribute fixes the scrollbar issue.
Thoughts?

Mauricio,
Can you post your code? I would be happy to help.
Also, keep this in mind: in new versions truncate is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. The plugin will be all about counting the characters, displaying the count, and providing options such as css class changes, timing, etc. All other tasks will be left to other plugins.
