When disabling the textarea control it does not differentiate between keyboard and mouse input therefore the textarea is fully disabled or fully enabled.

So your current work-round is the only solution to your problem.

My mistake I believe there is away to do this

// textarea is the variable name for a GTextArea control
textarea.setTextEditEnabled(false);

This will prevent the text being edited but still allow the scrollbars to function.
