WebTextField HelpTag

I am trying to write a small paragraphs for a webTextField help tag. (hover over)
I enter the text in the IDE property editor for the instance.

The first line of text displays correctly, subsequent lines are indented.
I don’t understand why they are indented.

Seems like a bug. Try replacing your returns with to see if that works better.

For example:

Line 1&#10;Line 2&#10;Line 3

Yep… Works.

Its not a our bug per se. The help tag mechanism that we use is the one that’s built into the browser, and they typically can’t handle line endings very well.

I tried this and don’t get a multiline helptag. Newlines and Cariage return give a an error. Inserting " " just prints " "
