Disabled textareas don't get resized (FF + IE)

[dshorowitz]

If you disable your textarea, but it still receives new props (through a function call, for example), on Firefox and IE it won't get autoresized. Seems to be related to a known bug in FF: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=867418 in which dispatchEvent doesn't dispatch events on disabled form controls.

Any workaround?

react-autosize-textarea uses autosize library to resize the textarea.
I'm afraid I can't help you with you issue.
I suggest you to open an issue on autosize repo (https://github.com/jackmoore/autosize)

@jackmoore suggested to

use autosize.update(textareaElement) to trigger the resize, rather than dispatching the custom event (autosize:update)
Autosize was updated not to use dispatchEvent when calling it's methods (autosize.update & autosize.destroy) to work-around Firefox dispatchEvent bugs.

@FrancescoCioria @gabro What do you think? I may create PR with such changes.
