Default Grammar question

Here is something that has been bothering me. I was taught that the proper way to make a comparative statement is "Her sister is taller than she (is)." Now it seems to be the rule to say "Her sister is taller than her." I have seen this so many times that I can no longer write it off as one author's or editor's ignorance. Does anyone know when this change happened and why? Or have I always been wrong?
Thanks--
