Text box is too small for Wordy McWordSmith

Okay, I know my posts are far too long, but dammit, I love to hear the sound of my own typing! Once I get past 15 lines, though, I have to type blind. The frigging interface insists on scrolling the text forwards as soon as I start typing and as a result, my cursor (and whatever I am typing) is hidden somewhere below the bottom border of the text box and I can't see shit. I have to type away blind, and then scroll down and see what I typed. A soon as I start typing again, BAM, it scrolls below the box and I can't see shit again. This is effing annoying!

I am using Internet Explorer 8. Please don't tell me to try Firefox or Chrome or something else. I use what my clients use so i can know what they are dealing with. Last time I checked, most of the world is still using IE8, warts and all. I am using Windows 7 64bit Professional - but I believe I had this same problem when I was on XP Pro.

My screen resolution is 1280 x 800 and I think my notebook screen is 13" or thereabouts. Its a sony VGN-SR590GX something or other.
