Line breaks in a WebTextArea component are ignored in IE11. Two separate lines show up fine in Chrome but only one line in IE11.
I filed a bug report (34720) on this issue but I am hoping someone has a workaround I can use now.
You’re doing it with +EndOfLine+ or with a
?
Neither, I was just editing right in the editor.
I tried +EndOfLine+ in the text property in shown event and it worked! Thanks!
Why doesn’t this work in the editor?
Feedback case #34682 refers to Transparency in IE11. Is there another case?
You are correct Greg. I messed up. The new feedback case number for this issue is #34720.
If you can edit the feedback case please add workaround mentioned by Jan-Ole: Use +EndOfLine+ and add text to component on Shown event. Apparently, text added via editor in Xojo results in IE11 ignoring the line breaks.
I’m happy that my solution worked for you 
(even if it’s only a workaround)
This still seems to be a bug (which I’ve now run into)…I’ve added it to my top cases. Any idea from Xojo when this might get corrected?

The workaround I posted back in 2015 still works just fine and transparently :
[code]Sub Shown()
dim js as string
js = js + “var ta=document.getElementById(’”+me.ControlID+"’).getElementsByTagName(‘textarea’); "
js = js + “var texte= ta[0].innerHTML; ta[0].innerHTML= texte.replace(’’,’’);”
self.ExecuteJavaScript(js)
End Sub[/code]
Eventually, creating a subclass so this becomes part of default is the best way not to be bothered again.
