LYNX-DEV Bug in TEXTAREA in 2.7.2...

[Edward S. Marshall]

Hi,

Just noticed a small problem with TEXTAREAs in lynx 2.7.2. The basic
problem is that the default text of a textarea is incorrectly parsed, and
multiple line breaks are merged into single breaks in the actual text.
When this is resubmitted, the submitted data is visibly modified from the
original text supplied. Submission does work properly (ie. if the data
inputted to lynx has line breaks in the data, the submitted data has those
line breaks).

This behavior has not shown up on other browsers that I've tested with. It
does show up with 2.7.1f, and presumably previous versions as well.
