Legacy browsers (IE5, Nav4.5) treat text inside a TEXTAREA like PRE by default, meaning newlines are honored, so: <textarea> 1 2 3 </textarea> ... will render on 3 seperate lines. However, all whitespace (including newlines) before the first non-whitespace character is ignored. Which means that these two examples should render identically: <textarea>1</textarea> <textarea> 1</textarea> In ngLayout, we render the first newline, which should be ignored.

Fixed in Build Release 11/30.

<textarea> text </textarea> Legacy browsers honour leading spaces and trailing newlines, but Mozilla only appears to honour trailing spaces.
