When a text field is in a viewport, it grows indefinitely as more text 
is typed into it, and lets the viewport handle scrolling. A standalone 
text field, on the other hand, starts scrolling text once it exceeds 
available width, thus acting as a viewport by itself. So invalidation 
can safely stop at such text fields -- this is why they are validate roots.
