By default, the text area is resizable :

You can change this (and justify the text) by configuring the field :

And here is the function to use :

```auto
// Do not allow resize of text box by user + justify text
private void DoNotResize(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    (sender as TextBox).Style.Add("resize", "none");
    (sender as TextBox).Style.Add("text-align", "justify");
    //(sender as TextBox).Style.Add("white-space", "pre-line");
    (sender as TextBox).Style.Add("white-space", "normal");
    (sender as TextBox).Style.Add("-moz-text-align-last", "left");
    (sender as TextBox).Style.Add("text-align-last", "left");
}

```
