Description
Disabled textarea should not respond to any of the keyboard inputs but I am able to type anything inside the disabled textarea when it has focus, and the text gets appended visually. This is reproducible only since 1.4.2 on WinXP and not reproducible on other platforms. Hence this is a regression on 1.4.2.

Run the attached code. You would see a button and a textarea. Click the button. Both the components will be disabled. Focus will be shifted to textarea. Type some text inside the disabled textarea. If you see the text being inserted/appended in the textarea visually, the bug is reproduced.
